Bather or Nymph at the Bath

Workshop of Etienne-Maurice Falconet

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a nude female figure with one leg in front of the other, her toes pointed as if she is dipping her foot into water. She is leaning slightly forward and looking downwards. Her right hand holds a piece of cloth or drapery in front of her left thigh, and her left hand rests on a tree stump behind her. Her hair is styled up on top of her head, adorned with flowers and a thin headband or ribbon. The sculpture is crafted from smooth white material, and it stands on a round base.
