Bathing at Talloires (La baignade à Talloires) is a 1888 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows people bathing in a lake near tall wooden buildings. The light dances on the water. Dark lines make the scene feel alive. Besnard made this in 1888. It’s not a painting—it’s an etching with drypoint. You scratch the metal plate yourself, then ink it. The scratches catch light in a special way. Look up Besnard, Albert next.
Paul-Albert Besnard (1849–1934) was a French artist, born in 7th arrondissement of Paris.
