The Bath - Framed Prints Primary Swift and Mark WheatonDegas wanted his depictions of bathtub and toilette scenes to seem completely real, as though you were looking through a keyhole. ''I show them stripped of their coquetry, in the state of animals cleansing themselves,'' he once remarked dryly. It is a description readily applicable to ''The Bath,'' circa 1895, and also perhaps to ''Woman Drying Her Hair,'' circa 1896 99, an unusually large charcoal and pastel drawing of a naked woman rubbing her neck.
