About the painting
Bathing or Children Bathing is an oil-on-canvas painting in the collection of the Louvre Museum, which depicts landscape with children played naked on and around a boat on a body of water with a windmill in the distance. It is presumed to have been painted between 1655 and 1660. While the work was traditionally attributed to the Dutch painter Nicolaes Maes, this attribution has been regularly disputed.
