Les plaisir de l'ete

Louis de Surugue de Surgis after Jean-Baptiste Joseph Pater

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of women in an opulent room. A woman is seated on the edge of a bathtub, partially covered by a cloth, while another woman stands beside her, offering a towel. Other women in elaborate gowns are present, with one kneeling and another reaching into a box. One woman is holding a towel, and another is closing a curtain. The background features a decorated wall panel, a large window with curtains, a tiled floor, and a small basin.
