The artwork, titled “Female Bather,” was created by Vladimir Tatlin circa 1930. The piece is executed using oil and wood as the primary medium and belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. It is categorized under the genre of nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a central figure of a nude female bather is depicted in a relaxed yet introspective pose. Her form is softly contoured with subtle tones of flesh, suggesting naturalistic body features. The bather’s right hand lightly touches her hair, while her left hand holds a white cloth, conveying a moment of intimacy and personal reflection. The background is rendered in muted, earthy hues, enhancing the sense of modesty and quietude. The overall composition demonstrates Tatlin’s skill in blending the physicality of the subject with abstract elements typical of Post-Impressionism.
