Boys Bathing is a 1902 by Unknown, depicting Bathing, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows three young boys near water. One stands on the shore, barefoot and shirtless, holding what looks like a small object. Another floats in the water, facing the camera with a calm look. The third boy stands with his back turned, also shirtless, facing the water. The brushy texture and rough edges make it feel like a snapshot of a moment, not a polished studio shot. The way the light hits their skin and the water gives it a soft, natural glow. Check out the technique: impasto for more on how thick paint creates texture.
