After Bathing, Woman Drying Herself

"After Bathing, Woman Drying Herself" is a Pastel drawing by Edgar Degas created between 1890 and 1895, now housed in the National Gallery, London. This work is part of a series of nude paintings (nu) and pastels that explore female nudes, a recurring theme in Degas’s oeuvre. Known for his association with Impressionism, Degas exhibited his works at Impressionist exhibitions in Paris, where his distinctive style garnered a loyal following. The drawing captures a moment of intimacy and naturalism characteristic of Degas’s approach to the painting.
