Study for a Bather (Etude pour une baigneuse)

Auguste Renoir

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a half-length portrait of a nude female figure. She is positioned slightly turned, facing forward, with her head tilted gently to the side. Her facial features are delicately drawn, with softly rounded eyes and a calm expression, framed by long hair that falls loosely around her shoulders. The sketch highlights her bare upper torso with subtle, expressive lines. There is no visible clothing, jewelry, or objects she holds, and the background appears to be a simple, textured surface without any particular detail, drawing focus to the figure itself.
