Bathers
by CÉZANNE, Paul, Watercolour and pencil, 130 x 210 mm
C�zanne painted numerous watercolours on the theme of Bathers. The present picture shows a sheet from a sketch album. The layout of the landscape and the groups of figures bear similarities to the version of the Large Bathers in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. C�zanne believed that the bathers should become a part of the overall structure of the picture, echoing the rhythm of the trees, the sky and the water.
