More about this artwork

"La sortie du bain" is a compelling pastel composition by Edgar Degas, dated around 1884, that captures a candid and intimate moment in the daily life of a woman. The painting features a single figure, a woman, revealed in a state of after-bath repose. Degas's masterful use of pastels brings out the softness of the flesh tones and the textural variance of the surrounding materials, such as the plush towel or mat she is seated upon and the dimly visualized background that suggests a domestic setting.The woman is depicted with her back toward the viewer, adding a layer of privacy and introspection. Her pose is natural yet gracefully articulated, with one arm raised and appearing to dry or steady herself by holding onto an unseen support. The warm and earthy palette creates a sense of warmth and comfort, emphasizing the serene and private nature of the scene.Degas, renowned for his dynamic compositions and skill in capturing human anatomy, showcases his ability to convey emotion and narrative through body language and subtle details. "La sortie du bain" is a fine example of Degas’s thematic focus on the spontaneous moments of everyday life, especially those of women in private or candid settings, exploring themes of femininity and the rhythms of daily routine.
