Bathing woman is a 1666 oil by Ary de Vois, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting depicts a woman standing on the riverbank, her back to the viewer. She is wearing a white cloth draped around her waist and is holding a cloth to her face. In the foreground, a dog is standing next to a hat and a dark cloth. The background is a serene landscape with trees and a river. The woman's pose and the serene atmosphere of the painting create a sense of calmness. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Ary de Vois, who was known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
Ary de Vois (1630–1680) was an artist, born in Utrecht.
