The Bathers (Small Plate)

Paul Cezanne

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts abstract figures in a natural setting. The figures have elongated forms and simplified features. They are situated among greenery with a focus on fleshy tones against a green backdrop suggestive of trees. The figures appear to be in relaxed or contemplative postures. The style is reminiscent of an impressionist or post-impressionist approach to portraying human figures in nature, similar to Paul Cézanne's work.
