Nymphes des bords de la marene

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals in various positions and angles. On the left stands a full-bodied figure partially submerged in water adjusting their garment sleeve. In the middle is a seated person in water with a worn expression. On the right, a standing person is visible from mid-calf up adjusting headwear or hair. All three individuals wear modest, loose-fitting clothing. The background features a lightly sketched scenic view of water and trees under a softly textured sky. The scene is in a monochrome, pencil-drawn style.
