The Bather is a 1851 oil by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a woman in a white dress, sitting on a rock in a wooded area. She is looking down, possibly at her feet or the ground in front of her. The background is a mix of trees, rocks, and grass, with a blue sky visible through the trees. The woman's dress is loose-fitting and appears to be made of a lightweight material. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a calm expression on her face. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and serene. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, look up the technique of glazing.
