In the Water

In the Water (French: Dans l'Eau) is an oil painting on panel by Eugene de Blaas of a nude young woman.

[2] The painting depicts a naked young woman standing up to mid-ankle in water, leaning forward, looking down at a school of tiny fish.

[1] She has a rosy complexion, and her curly, dark brown hair is tied back.

Although there is no sun in the composition, golden light shines through the cloudy sky and reflects on the water.

The artist signed his name and the date (1914) in dark ink, at the lower-left corner of the composition.
