I am wondering if anyone can help. I am looking for information on a particular Degas charcoal piece, called \* The Bathers \*. I know he has done a large number of these, sometimes with the same names, but this one was done in the late 1890s’, and has a number of bright colors, such a green, yellow and orange. It features FOUR bathers by a lake, one it looks like is putting on a boot or a sock, another with its back towards us, another on its side, and a fourth I don’t remember what it was doing. They all look like they are in the middle of a picnic.

It used to hang at the Art Institute of Chgo, and the only help I had from them is the yr and title, both of which I gave above. I am looking for a picture of it online, and have been unsuccessful.

Is there ANYONE out there that can help ?
