Baths at Home is a 1824 by Jean Henri Marlet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two men pulling a big wooden cart with giant wheels. The cart has a sign that says "Bains à Domicile," and it looks like a mobile bath setup with a barrel and a tub. In the background, a crowd of people stands near buildings and a church, watching the scene. The cart’s sign means "baths at home," so this might be a traveling bath service. The artist used simple lines and shading to show light and movement. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used everyday scenes to tell bigger stories.
