The painting is beautifully executed in bold gouache colours depicting a lady at bath time with her maids. The work is signed by the artist R. Dumans (after Boucher) and is in excellent condition. It is in a beautiful bronze ormolu easel frame which is a heavy and very good quality piece that compliments the work finely.
