Renoir: The Great Bathers Notecard
This painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir was made between 1884 and 1887. On loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to accompany the exhibition Renoir Drawings on view at the Morgan Library & Museum, this painting started with several large-scale drawings, one of which belongs to the Morgan.
The painting depicts a scene of nude women bathing. In the foreground, two women are seated beside the water, and a third is standing in the water near them. In the background, two others are bathing. The one standing in the water in the foreground appears to be about to splash one of the women seated on the shore with water. That woman leans back to avoid the expected splash of water.
