Two Bathers is a 1910 by Anders Zorn, depicting Bathing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Two women stand knee-deep in calm, sunlit water. One bends to wash her hair while the other rests a hand on her shoulder. Sunlight dances off their skin and the ripples around them. Zorn painted wet skin often. He used quick, loose brushstrokes that still show muscle and movement. The light feels real, not staged. If you like this, check out Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920).
Anders Leonard Zorn was born in February 1860 in Mora, Dalarna, the illegitimate son of a Bavarian brewer and a Swedish farmer's daughter; his mother died shortly after his birth, and his grandparents raised him.
