Woman Bathing – Joan Miró
Woman Bathing is a 1925 painting by Joan Miró, held by the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris: a few thin lines and signs on a deep-blue ground. We paint our hand-painted study of Woman Bathing to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 40 cm to 180 × 140 cm or in a custom size. Before Woman Bathing is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Woman Bathing show?
Woman Bathing shows a surface that is all deep blue like a night sea, crossed by wavy white lines; at top left a white crescent moon, in the centre a thin black figure with a circle for a head, orange hair in the wind and a small black rectangle. Miró reduced the bather to a few signs, which is why Woman Bathing feels dreamlike, quiet and poetic.
How is our hand-painted study of Woman Bathing made?
Our painters paint the study of Woman Bathing by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Woman Bathing has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Woman Bathing is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Woman Bathing suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Woman Bathing in 110 × 90 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 50 × 40 cm. Woman Bathing is available in 50 × 40 cm, 60 × 50 cm, 80 × 60 cm, 92 × 63 cm, 110 × 90 cm, 130 × 100 cm, 150 × 120 cm and 180 × 140 cm. A simple rule for Woman Bathing: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Woman Bathing arrive, and when?
We ship Woman Bathing rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Woman Bathing are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Woman Bathing is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Woman Bathing painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
Frequently asked questions about Woman Bathing
Is Woman Bathing a print?
No. Every brushstroke of Woman Bathing is painted by hand on canvas, so the paint visibly stands up from the surface.
Can I order Woman Bathing in a size that is not listed?
Yes. We also paint Woman Bathing in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order Woman Bathing.
Where is the woman in Woman Bathing?
Miró drew her with thin lines only: a circle for the head, a few straight lines for the body and orange hair in the middle of the blue sea; Woman Bathing is more a dream of bathing than a portrait.
Is Woman Bathing a good gift?
Woman Bathing is a gift for a lover of Miró, the sea and the colour blue. If you are unsure which size of Woman Bathing to choose, give a gift voucher.
