The Bathing Pool is a 1921 oil by Charles Hodge Mackie, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Galleries Scotland.
The painting depicts a serene scene of people bathing in a pool, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. The atmosphere is tranquil, with the bathers seemingly lost in their own thoughts. The artist has used warm, earthy tones to create a sense of comfort and relaxation. In the foreground, a woman is shown stepping into the pool, her movements gentle and graceful. The brushstrokes are soft and blended, giving the painting a dreamy quality. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and calm, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world of the painting.
