After the Bath (La sortie du bain (Grand planche))

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partial view of a person's upper body, focusing on their back and shoulders. The individual is positioned with their back slightly turned and head bent forward. Their facial features are not clearly visible due to the angle and shading, with long hair cascading down to partially obscure their face. The person's clothing is not distinctly detailed, and there is no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. Surrounding the figure is a textured shading, with a cluster of floral motifs or abstracted shapes in the upper background.
