Study for "Greek Girls Bathing"

Elihu Vedder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing in a dynamic pose with one arm raised, likely adjusting or holding their hair. The individual's face is in profile view, revealing soft facial features and long, flowing hair. They are draped in a long garment that billows outward, suggesting movement. The fabric appears soft and pliable, flowing around their form. The individual is barefoot and has no visible jewelry or objects in their hands. The background is a plain, neutral-colored surface.
