The artwork, titled “Bathers,” was created by Kazimir Malevich using oil on canvas. Belonging to the Symbolism art movement, this piece is categorized as a sketch and study. The dimensions of the artwork are 59 by 48 centimeters.
In the artwork, Malevich portrays three human figures standing in an outdoor setting, characterized by a vivid and dense use of color. The figures are rendered in stark white against a background of rich, dark hues, perhaps indicative of trees or dense foliage. The figures themselves are devoid of facial features, emphasizing form and silhouette over detailed representation. The setting includes a body of water, discernible from the blue tones in the middle ground, contrasted by the earthy shades of the ground and the green of the surrounding vegetation. The composition evokes a serene, contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the abstraction and symbolism interwoven in the piece.
