Associated Names
Pierre Bonnard

Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image shows a person from the upper back upward, sitting with their back turned to the viewer. The person is in a curled position inside a bathtub, with their head resting on the edge and their arms loosely folded. Their hair is short and dark. The person appears to be unclothed, as their back and arms are visible without attire covering them. The scene is sketched in a monochrome style with dark, cross-hatched shading, which fills the background and defines the environment as minimally detailed.
