1876 (ca.), Edgar Degas, Peasant Girls bathing in the Sea at Dusk -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: In a bold take on the traditional theme of bathers in union with nature, naked peasant girls clutch hands as they enter the foaming sea for an invigorating sunset swim. Silhouetted against the dusky light, their terracotta-toned bodies appear like dancing figures in a classical frieze.
