The Bathers by Winslow Homer shows a woman sitting in water, wearing a dark dress with a head covering, holding a man's wrist with both hands. The man lies on his back in the water to her right, with his head tilted back and hair wet. A boat with a triangular sail and people on board is in the background to the right. The woman's body faces right; her head faces forward. The scene is depicted in black and white.
