Painting of a nude woman seen from behind, arms raised against dark foliage glowing gold in a shadowy setting.

The Bather (La baigneuse)

A nude woman seen from behind rises against a dark, murky ground, her arms lifted toward a cluster of golden foliage that catches the light. Loose, painterly brushwork and heavy shadow define the figure, with pale highlights on her back and thigh and a faint glimmer of light below.
