Japanese Girl Bathing
Japanese Girl Bathing is an 1864 nude oil painting by the French artist James Tissot featuring a young Japanese woman bathing. The work was part of the nineteenth century tradition of Orientalism. Tissot, who never visited Japan, painted a French model in his Parisian studio draped in a kimono. However, she wears it more like a European bathrobe. The theme of Japanese objects is a recurring theme in his work of this period.
Today the painting is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, having been acquired in 1913.
