More about this artwork
Edgar Degas' intimate portrayal, "The Bath," delicately captures the private moment of a woman bathing. Employing soft pastels to etch the nuances of her form and movement, Degas brings to life the everyday activity with a graceful flair. The woman is depicted bending over, presumably reaching for something, her back to the viewer, subtly emphasizing the gentle curves of her body in a non-intrusive voyeuristic perspective typical of Degas.This sketch shows the artist's mastery in using minimal strokes to evoke the serene ambiance of the scene, while the blush of pink across the background lends a warm atmosphere, almost like the flush of steam or the glow of the bather's skin in the subdued light.
