This abstract etching features a yellow rectangle with a curved shape in the center, reminiscent of a butterfly's wing. The wing is divided into two sections, with a grid pattern on the right and a solid yellow section on the left. A small circle is positioned in the center of the wing. The background of the etching is a light beige color, with a thin black border surrounding the yellow rectangle. The title "La Baigneuse" is written in black letters at the top of the etching, while the names "Benjamin Peret" and "Max Ernst" are written in smaller letters at the bottom. This etching is a unique example of Max Ernst's work, showcasing his use of abstract shapes and bold colors. For more information on the artist's techniques, explore the world of etching.
