The Bathers (Large Plate) is a 1896 ink by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a natural setting. There are several figures, some standing and others lying down, all without clothes. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and hills in the background. The figures are depicted in a simple, almost primitive style, with bold lines and minimal detail. The colors used are muted, with shades of green and brown dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity.
