About this work

The painting depicts a woman bathing, with her body partially submerged in water. The scene is set against a dark background, which contrasts with the warm tones of the woman's skin. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the light source coming from the left side of the composition. The woman's face is tilted upwards, and her eyes are closed, giving the impression that she is lost in thought. The painting is held at the Hungarian National Gallery. If you're interested in learning more about the technique used in this painting, you might want to look up chiaroscuro.
