Nymphes au Bain

Nymphes au Bain (Nymphes au Bain) c1830 by French Artist Baron Auguste-Gaspard-Louis Desnoyers (1779 – 1857); a painter, illustrator and engraver.

This engraving depicts the beauty of nature and all the creatures that inhabit its domain enjoying that soothing peace that it provides.

As deep within a large and lush forest, two mythological nymph female creatures are shown by the edge of a creek, near some caves and under a large tree.

One is sitting on the ground with bent knees in the water fixing her blonde hair, while the other nymph with black hair is laying the water, resting her back on the knees of the blonde haired nymph.

They are playing with a swan that is sitting on the chest of the black haired nymph that is kissing the blonde hair nymph on the lips.

In the distance near large boulders that make up the entrance into a cave in which water is flowing out from is another swan in the water looking off into distance on its left.
