Sunbath is a 1916 oil by Frederick Carl Frieseke, a american_impressionism work, depicting sitting, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a garden, surrounded by lush greenery. She is dressed in a white dress and has her hair pulled back, with a few loose strands framing her face. The woman's posture is relaxed, with her legs crossed and her hands resting on her lap. The artist's use of light and color creates a sense of warmth and serenity in the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture adding depth to the painting. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful atmosphere of the garden.
