The artwork entitled “Untitled (Study for ‘Bathers’)” is a creation by the artist Childe Hassam, belonging to the Impressionism art movement. This piece falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
In this artwork, two unclothed female figures are placed in a pastoral setting, presumably near a water body, capturing a scene reminiscent of casual bathing or relaxation in nature. The figure in the foreground is depicted sitting on a rock, engaged in the act of arranging her hair, while the other figure stands further back, appearing contemplative. The surrounding environment is composed of slender trees with sparse foliage, framing the figures and lending an air of tranquility to the composition. The use of soft, pastel colors and light brushstrokes is typical of the Impressionist style, conveying a sense of softness and immediacy. The blue hues of the water and the green tones of the vegetation blend harmoniously, creating a serene and naturalistic atmosphere.
