Bathing Woman is a 1898 oil by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting bathing, held at Munch Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a bathtub, her body facing the left side of the image. The woman's head is turned towards the viewer, and her hair is dark and short. She is not wearing any clothes, and her body is depicted in a simplified, abstract way. The background of the painting is a dark greenish-blue color, which gives the image a sense of calmness and serenity. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist who created this piece, look up Edvard Munch.
