EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Woman Bathing in a Shallow Tub". Created in 1885 using charcoal and pastel on light green wove paper laid on silk bolting, this artwork showcases Degas' mastery of the impressionist style. In this piece, we see a figure of a woman standing in a shallow tub, her back turned towards us. The artist's delicate strokes and use of soft colors create an intimate atmosphere as we witness this private moment. The viewer is invited to observe the bather from behind, allowing us to appreciate the graceful lines and curves of her form. Degas was known for his fascination with capturing everyday scenes and moments that often went unnoticed by others. Here, he presents us with an ordinary act - bathing - but elevates it into art through his skillful execution. The choice to depict the woman naked adds vulnerability and authenticity to the scene. It reminds us that beauty can be found even in our most vulnerable states. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this work exemplifies French impressionism at its finest. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today as they are transported back to 19th-century France through Degas' masterful brushwork.
