Study for "Greek Girls Bathing" is a 1872 oil by Elihu Vedder, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, holding a cloth over one arm. Her long dress is loose and simple, with soft folds. The colors are muted—mostly browns and tans—except for a hint of red on her feet. The artist left some brushstrokes visible, making the edges look rough. It feels like a quick practice drawing, not a finished piece. Want to see more? Look up Vedder, Elihu for other works.
