Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:After the Bath, Woman drying herself - Edgar Degas - National Gallery.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on 28 October 2018.

Picture of the day

After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself is a pastel drawing by Edgar Degas, made at some point between 1890 and 1895. The work is part of a series of drawings, preliminary sketches and completed works in pastels and oils by Degas from this period that depict women bathing. The drawing was made on several pieces of paper mounted on cardboard. Degas may have started with a smaller composition which he extended as he worked, requiring more paper. The work had a considerable influence on Francis Bacon, most noticeably on his triptychs Three Figures in a Room (1964) and Three Studies of the Male Back (1970). The painting is now in the National Gallery in London.Drawing: Edgar Degas.

Capitalization

The title is capitalized title case, as "After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself". The article text says "After the Bath, Woman drying herself", and so does the Picture of the Day description, which would be nonstandard but the National Gallery of London reference says the same, and they have the painting. The other references have various capitalizations. And it doesn't seem to be a translation from French. Art LaPella (talk) 04:23, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Amakuru, I don't really care that much, but see here for earlier discussion, which I lean towards, sort of. Anyway, wont be reverting, this is just for the record. Ceoil (talk) 23:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Merge?

Some of the info and sections here refer more to the series of works rather than this particular one. Would it make sense to create an article about the bathers series (like some VVG articles) and merge this one into it along with stubs The Tub and Woman in a Tub (Degas)? This way ukiyo-e and his wax figures (important subjects about which I can't find a reference specific to this work) could get a mention. Dark Clouds of Joy (talk) 03:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
