The artwork, titled “Bathers,” was created by Augustus John in 1904. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, two nude figures are depicted in a natural, coastal setting. The figure on the left stands upright with arms raised, highlighting the curves and musculature of the human form. The right side of the scene features another figure, crouched and seemingly introspective, suggesting a moment of personal reflection. The background consists of a rocky shoreline bathed in muted tones of grays and browns, evoking a somber and contemplative atmosphere. The composition is characterized by loose brushwork and a subdued palette, contributing to the intimate and expressive nature of the piece.
