This mature work from 1897 is from an edition of 100 and is the artist's only published lithograph. It presents a recurring them in Cezanne's work--bathers. The print was commissioned and published by Ambroise Vollard, one of his Cezanne's dealers, in a portfolio of work by 31 artists. The work originates from a drawing by Cezanne on a litho stone. Each additional color comes from a different stone, following a color maquette created by Cezanne and printed by August Clot. Cezanne produced a major painting of the subject in 1900.
