Bather is a 1909 oil by Henri Matisse, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting depicts a nude figure from behind, captured in a dynamic pose. The figure's right arm is extended, while the left arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand near the face. The background is a dark, mottled color. The figure's body is rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes, with visible texture on the skin. The overall effect is one of energy and movement.
