Bain-froid chevrier, dit "de l'École" (Chevrier's Cold-Bath Establishment, Sometimes called the "School-Baths") is a 1864 ink by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a serene scene of a river, with a few buildings and a bridge in the background. The sky is filled with clouds, and a flag is visible on the right side of the image. In the foreground, a man is shown standing on the riverbank, while another figure is seen in the distance. The scene is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall sense of atmosphere and mood. This etching is reminiscent of the work of other artists who have explored the theme of everyday life and urban landscapes. For further exploration, consider looking into the work of artist Meryon, Charles.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
