More about this artwork

Welcome to an intimate glimpse into the private world captured by Edgar Degas in his evocative painting "After the Bath" (1890-1895). This artwork, part of a series where Degas explored the theme of bathing, typifies his innovative approach to composition and his profound understanding of human anatomy.In "After the Bath," Degas employs pastel hues to achieve a soft, almost ethereal quality, ensuring the figures convey a dense physical presence whilst also appearing as fleeting, delicate visions. The painting showcases two women in a candid, unguarded moment following a bath. The focus on their backs and the curvature of their forms emphasizes the fluidity and grace of the human body.Degas’s choice of perspective eschews traditional frontal depictions, opting instead for an over-the-shoulder view that invites viewers to step into the personal space of the subjects, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and informal. This perspective, paired with his masterful use of color and light, reinforces the transient nature of the everyday moment being witnessed.Not merely an exploration of form and color, this painting also subtly discusses themes of femininity and privacy, capturing a moment meant to be unseen by others.
