Description
English: Degas was drawn to the pastel medium because it provided both rich color and spontaneous line in the same drawn stroke. Here, the viewer’s unobserved glimpse of a nude bather awash in the soft morning light suggests an immediacy of vision that appealed to Degas, who wanted to capture the transitory quality of modern life. When the artist displayed this pastel, along with others of women bathing and drying themselves, at the Impressionist exhibition of 1886, its uncompromising realism provoked a tirade of negative criticism, resulting in the popular sobriquet La boulangère (The Baker’s Wife), deriding the nude’s unfashionably plump figure. -gallery label from the Princeton University Art Museum

(Reusing this file)
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1917, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
