The Bathers

About this work

This sketch shows three women in a dim, shadowy space. One stands alone, her body lit from behind. The other two sit close together, their forms blending into the dark. The lines are rough, almost like quick pencil strokes, with no clear details. The artist left big patches of black and white, making the scene feel mysterious. This style was common in the late 1800s. Look up Realism next to see more work like this.
