1894
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Bain (The Bath) is a 1894 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a small black-and-white print. A woman sits on a wooden chair near a round tub. Her back is to us. A small window lets in light on the left. Vallotton made this with woodcut. He carved away the parts he didn’t want inked. That leaves the image white where he cut. The contrast is sharp and bold. Check out another woodcut by Vallotton, Félix.
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.
