EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Study for Bather (1918) by Charles Haslewood Shannon This evocative study captures the essence of a moment as a woman takes a break from her daily routine to indulge in the simple pleasure of a bath. Dated 1918, this sketch study was created by renowned English artist Charles Haslewood Shannon. The woman is depicted from behind, her form gracefully kneeling on one knee as she leans over the edge of a bathtub, her back turned to the viewer. The play of light and shadow on her figure, rendered in rich, vibrant colors, adds to the sensuality and intimacy of the scene. This study was first published in January 1922 in Volume 15 of a popular British magazine. The image, though not the company, is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast digital archive of historical and cultural visual content. Charles Haslewood Shannon (1863-1937) was a prolific artist known for his figurative works, particularly his depictions of women and children. His ability to capture the human form with sensitivity and grace is evident in this study, which invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and strength of the female form. The woman in the study appears lost in thought, her focus on the water and the sensation of the bath against her skin, a reminder of the importance of self-care and the simple pleasures in life. This study is not only a beautiful work of art but also a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of women during the early 20th century.
