Bathing Woman is a 1901 oil by Károly Lotz, a Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman in a bathtub. The woman is sitting with her knees bent and her arms resting on the edge of the tub. Her body is facing the viewer, but her head is turned to the side. The background is a dark, muted color, which contrasts with the warm tones of the woman's skin. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The woman's body is illuminated from the side, creating strong shadows that accentuate her curves. The overall effect is one of intimacy and quiet contemplation.
