EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "After the Bath (Woman Drying Herself); La Sortie du Bain (Femmes Essuyant)" created around 1885. The artwork, a pastel over monotype on paper, measures 44x24 cm and is part of a private collection. In this intimate scene, we witness a moment of personal cleanliness as a woman dries herself after taking a bath. Degas, known for his impressionistic style, beautifully captures the essence of this everyday act with his delicate strokes and attention to detail. The image focuses on the back view of the woman with her brown hair elegantly styled. She leans forward while raising her arms to dry herself off with a towel. Her posture reveals an active and engaged presence in the moment. Degas' use of pastels brings out the warmth and softness of her skin against the white backdrop. The artist's mastery lies in capturing not only physical actions but also emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language. This piece exemplifies Degas' ability to depict ordinary moments from daily life with extraordinary beauty and grace. It invites viewers into an intimate space where they can appreciate both the artistic technique employed by Degas and the timeless nature of personal care rituals. Overall, this print offers us an enchanting glimpse into one of Edgar Degas' most beloved works that continues to captivate audiences even today.
