Description
Bather Stepping into a Tub. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 22 x 18 3/4 in. (55.9 x 47.6 cm). Date: ca. 1890.
Degas's interest in the motif of a nude entering the water apparently dates to his student days, when he copied the figure of a man scrambling over a riverbank from an engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi after Michelangelo. This is one of seven pastels in which Degas ventured a modern version of the subject. The woman, her arms and legs splayed precariously against a zinc bathtub, powerfully manifests the combination of physical awkwardness and sensuality that characterizes the artist's depictions of bathers. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
