The Bath is an oil on canvas painting by Belgian painter Alfred Stevens.

Apparently, two version of the paintings existed, one of which was reportedly destroyed in one of Vienna's fires.

He was inspired by Pieter de Hooch and Vermeer, and painted both on wood panel and, as in the case of Le bain, on canvas.

[1] Unlike Franz Xaver Winterhalter, the official portraitist of the French imperial family, Stevens chose his models among the wealthy upper class ladies.

Above the tub there are, fixed to the wall, a swan-shaped tap and a white fixture in the shape of a shell.
