Boy Bathers
1916

An impressionistic painting depicting five nude youths and a dog by a riverbank. The scene includes a variety of poses: one boy stands facing the viewer, another sits hugging his knees, two are bending over, and one is lying on the ground with arms outstretched. A boat and hints of vegetation are visible in the background. The brushwork is loose, with earthy and muted tones conveying a naturalistic outdoor setting.
