About this work

This is a black-and-white print of a woman stepping into a bathtub. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. Bonnard made this as part of a book of prints by different artists. It’s not a finished painting—it’s a lithograph, which means he drew on stone with greasy crayon, then used that to print the image. The roughness gives it a quiet, everyday feel. If you like this, look up more works in the technique: lithography.
