Notes

(Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.63)

The group of lithographs of bathers is dated by Delteil between 1895 and 1897. Stylistically however they seem to belong together, and in a letter of April 1894 Pissarro wrote: 'J'ai fait toute une série de dessins imprimés romantiques qui m'ont paru avoir un aspect assez amusant: des Baigneuses en quantité dans toutes espèces de poses, en des passages paradisiaques.' Since Delteil's date for the 'Baigneuses à l'ombre des berges' is demonstrably wrong, it seems reasonable to date this whole group to the early months of 1894. It should however be borne in mind that the paintings of bathers continue to 1896, and that the lithographs probably do as well: thus D158 is related to a painting of 1895, PV937, while D161 belongs with PV941 of 1896 (and seems to be influenced by Cézanne, whose first exhibition in Paris opened in November 1895).
