Boys Bathing is a 1889 oil by Kazimierz Pochwalski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of five boys in a natural setting. They are all naked, with one boy standing in the water and the others sitting or lying on the grassy bank. The boys are surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and bushes in the background. The atmosphere is relaxed and playful, with the boys seemingly enjoying each other's company. The painting is rendered in oil paint, with vivid colors and textures that bring the scene to life. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast, with the boys' bodies and the surrounding foliage illuminated by a warm, golden light. The painting is a beautiful example of 19th-century art, and it's held at the National Museum in Kraków.
