Bathers on the Grass (Baigneuses étendues sur l'herbe) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows three naked figures lying on the grass. The background is mostly black, with a thin row of tiny dots at the top. The figures look simple and flat, with big heads and small details. The artist used just black lines on brown paper to create the whole scene. This makes it look different from most paintings of the time. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
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.
