Bernard Karfiol

Girl Bathers
1917

A painting depicting a group of nude and clothed figures by the seaside, with some sitting on rocks and others standing, in a style reminiscent of post-impressionism. The scene is set against a backdrop of dark blue water with hints of white waves, and the figures are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes in earthy and muted tones.
