Bather Stepping into a Tub by Edgar Degas is a beautiful and candid depiction of a woman in the midst of bathing. Degas’s use of pastel colors and his focus on the contours of the human form highlight the natural grace and elegance of the scene. The composition, with the figure partially turned away, gives the painting a sense of intimacy and privacy, typical of Degas’s portrayal of women in everyday moments.
