"Breakfast after Bathing" (also known as "Femme s'essuyant" or "Woman Drying Herself") is a pastel drawing by French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1895. The work is part of a series of nudes that Degas produced in the latter part of his career, which focused on the intimate moments of women's daily lives, often set in the privacy of their bedrooms or bathrooms. This particular piece depicts a woman drying herself after a bath, a subject that allowed Degas to explore the human form in a candid and unidealized manner.

Degas was renowned for his contributions to Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. His works often featured ballet dancers, women at their toilette, and scenes from the racetrack. In "Breakfast after Bathing," Degas continues his exploration of the theme of women's private moments, capturing the figure in a spontaneous and informal pose that conveys a sense of movement and immediacy. The pastel medium allowed Degas to blend colors and create soft textures, which was particularly suited to rendering the nuances of skin tones and the play of light on the body.

The artwork is notable for its loose and expressive technique, characteristic of Degas's later works, where the artist's concern with line and form took precedence over detailed representation. The composition's dynamic diagonal lines and the contrast between the warmth of the figure and the cool, muted background contribute to the sense of depth and vitality in the piece.

"Breakfast after Bathing" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Degas's mastery in portraying the human figure and his innovative use of pastels. The work is emblematic of the artist's ability to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life with sensitivity and a modern perspective, making it an important contribution to the canon of late 19th-century French art.
