Once again Cézanne isolates a single figure in copying after a multi-figured composition in the Louvre, in this case, Joseph Vernet's Women Bathers, or Morning, from which he draws the bather undressing, seen from behind, at right center. The pose clearly interested Cézanne, who discovered a variant of it in Marcantonio's famous print The Judgment of Paris and, combining the two old master sources, painted one of his female bathers in the same pose (see Venturi, Lionello. Cézanne, son art--son oeuvre. 2 vols. Paris, 1936, no. 265). Theodore Reff, from Paul Cézanne: Two Sketchbooks (1989), p. 97.
