Chosen among many examples, the Bather tying up her Hair and the Bather seated on a Rock are typical of the new vein in which he was working, as are many pictures of girls in summer dresses. Their hair, either flowing loosely or bunched in the shadow of their beribboned, broad-brimmed hats, is usually handled in the same manner as the green and leafy backgrounds into which they so harmoniously merge, in the sunlight flooding in from above.

It is a part of the following sets: Renoir and The Nude, The Bathers
