Edgar Degas made many works depicting a woman stepping out of a bath as a maid waits with a large towel or robe. He revised this image throughout several prints over the course of two years, using transfer paper to vary its cropping and scale. The process of copying the image resulted in a distinctly grainy texture in tonal areas, such as the woman’s back. Degas’s technique was experimental and highly unusual, pushing the boundaries of lithography at the time.
