Description
Woman Bathing in a Shallow Tub. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 32 x 22 1/8in. (81.3 x 56.2cm). Date: 1885.
When Degas showed his "suite of nudes," including this pastel, at the eighth and final Impressionist exhibition in 1886, critics viciously attacked the ungainly poses of his bathers. After the exhibition Degas gave the picture to Mary Cassatt in exchange for her painting Girl Arranging Her Hair (National Gallery of Art, Washington). Louisine Havemeyer eventually acquired both works. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
