Description
You probably know French artist Edgar Degas for his world-famous depictions of ballet dancers, but the artist also had a penchant for painting ladies drying themselves with towels, combing their hair and bathing. Leaving the Bath by Degas is one such example of the artist’s fascination with bathing ladies, depicting a woman from behind toweling herself off after a bath. The work showcases Degas’ obsession with the female figure, with freely-scribbled brushstrokes and a blurred background that ensures that the central focal point of the work is the female form. Although these works were created later in the artist’s life, they mark a sense of exploration, with Degas foraying into the techniques of Impressionism. You can adore this beautiful Degas painting every day when you purchase our hand-painted reproduction from overstockArt.
