1931
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sortie de bain is a 1931 by Charles Dufresne, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a scene with two figures. The figure on the left is larger and more prominent, while the figure on the right is smaller and partially obscured. The background is a mix of dark and light tones, with some visible brushstrokes. The larger figure appears to be standing or sitting, with their body facing the viewer. The smaller figure is positioned lower in the composition and seems to be looking up at the larger figure. The overall mood of the painting is somewhat somber, with the dark tones dominating the palette. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the dramatic effect of the painting.
Georges-Charles Dufresne (23 November 1876, Millemont - 8 August 1938, La Seyne-sur-Mer) was a French painter, engraver, sculptor and decorator.
