Otto Mueller painted three bathers in a pond in this work. The elongated figures wade through water, their forms simplified into essential shapes. Mueller's palette of earth tones creates a sense of primal connection to nature.
The German Expressionist sought to capture humanity's unity with the natural world. His bathers exist outside modern time and space. This painting is held at the Museum Ostwall in Dortmund.
