Madame Coquardeau still has a pretty figure after all!... is a 1847 by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a woman, Madame Coquardeau, in a bathing scene. She's standing in a simple room, with a few other women nearby. The interesting thing about this work is that it was published in a series called "At the Ladies Bath" in a magazine, which suggests it was meant to be humorous or satirical. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879)
This print (with title and captions added) was published in Le Charivari (September 14, 1847) as plate 15 from the series At the Ladies Bath.
