1897
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Bathers (Small Plate) is a 1897 ink by Paul Cezanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows five naked people in a wooded area. The trees and bushes are drawn with quick, rough lines. The figures stand close together, some touching or leaning on each other. The colors are soft—mostly greens, yellows, and browns—with a faded look. The artist didn’t focus on perfect details; the bodies are simple shapes. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Paul Cézanne was born on January 19, 1839, in Aix-en-Provence, the son of a hatter turned wealthy banker.
