Baignade (L'Abreuvoir) is a 1851 oil by Honoré Daumier, a Realism work, held at Hammer Museum.
This painting depicts a nude man sitting on the ground, with his back to the viewer. He is holding a cloth in his hands, and his head is bowed. To his left, a horse is rearing up, with a rider on its back. The background is a hazy landscape with hills and a gray sky. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures, while the loose brushstrokes add a sense of energy and movement to the scene.
