After the Bath

After the Bath depicts a nude woman seated against a rocky, wooded backdrop, her torso slightly turned to the left, head bowed, with her left arm reaching toward her foot and her right arm resting on the rock while a white draped cloth wraps around her hips. The color palette features warm, pale skin tones contrasted with a dark, earthy background and the bright white fabric, with soft, even lighting that renders smooth transitions on the flesh. The work exemplifies Bouguereau's academic neoclassical style, characterized by precise anatomy, polished brushwork, and a calm, idealized mood within a classical composition.
