“**Nude in the Bathtub**,** a 1935 oil on canvas work by Pierre Bonnard,** resides within a private collection. This artwork is a notable example of the Intimism movement and belongs to the genre of nude painting.
The artwork portrays a serene and intimate domestic scene, with a partially obscured figure reclining in a bathtub. Dominated by soft, muted hues of purples and lilacs, the canvas radiates tranquility and introspection. The room, bathed in natural light filtered through delicate curtains, features subtle yet rich details such as the patterned carpet and the nearby footstool, hinting at the artist’s meticulous attention to everyday surroundings. Bonnard’s quintessential brushwork and color play create a palpable sense of quiet reflection, characteristic of his Intimist approach.”
