Bather and Child (La baigneuse à l'enfant) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows a woman bathing a child in a shallow tub. The blocky shapes and strong lines make the scene feel sharp and real. The woman’s arms grip the child tight, but the child’s face looks calm. Vallotton cut the image into wood, then pressed ink onto paper. That method keeps details simple but bold. It’s not a painting—it’s a print, made fast and cheap back then. Look up one way Vallotton worked next: woodcut.
Félix Édouard Vallotton (French: ; December 28, 1865 – December 29, 1925) was a Swiss and French painter and printmaker associated with the group of artists known as Les Nabis.
