В бане. Эскиз is a 1823 oil by Alexey Venetsianov, depicting Bathing, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting depicts three women in a dimly lit room, with one standing naked in the center. The woman on the left sits on a bench, wearing a white dress and a blue headscarf, while the woman on the right sits on a red blanket, wearing a green dress and a red headscarf. The room's walls are made of stone, and a few objects are scattered around, including a large pot on the floor. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the naked woman's body illuminated by a soft, warm light. The overall atmosphere is one of intimacy and quiet contemplation, with the three women seemingly lost in their own thoughts.
