About this work

Overview

Study for 'Greek Girls Bathing' is a drawing created by Elihu Vedder around 1872. It is executed in oil on prepared wove paper.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a seated figure with crossed legs, wearing a hat. The simplicity of the representation and lack of fine details suggest a focus on capturing the essence rather than the specifics of the subject.

The artist employed loose, rapid brushstrokes to convey the figure and its surroundings. The textured paper and muted color palette, dominated by browns and grays, contribute to the overall effect of the drawing, which appears more like a quick study than a finished work.
