July is a 1893 unspecified by Otto Henry Bacher, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman sits naked on a sunlit lawn, her back turned to us. The grass glows green, and her skin looks warm in the summer light. Bacher painted this in 1893 while visiting East Hampton. He was from Cleveland but worked in New York. The model’s name was never written down—just the quiet moment she shared with the artist.

Cleveland-born and New York City-based Otto Bacher painted July during a visit to East Hampton, Long Island, NY. The sun-dazzled composition features a nude model seated upon a lawn. Her name was not recorded.
Several decades ago, a man stole a truck transporting this painting, but he was apprehended by police approximately seven minutes later.
