Foot Bath is a 1920 oil by John Robinson Frazier, a American Folk Art work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting depicts a woman sitting on the floor, engaged in the intimate act of washing her feet in a shallow basin. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a white, sleeveless dress that is pulled up to her knees, revealing her bare legs. The woman's right foot is submerged in the water, while her left foot rests on the edge of the basin. A white cloth lies beside her, and a pair of white shoes is placed on the floor to her right. The artist's use of soft, muted colors creates a sense of warmth and serenity in the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, adding a sense of movement and energy to the painting. The painting invites the viewer to explore the work of artist John Robinson Frazier.
