The depicted environment seems to be a small, shady grove with a small pond in the background.
This painting which Emile Zola described as a "vast ensemble, full of atmosphere," is currently on display at the Museé d'Orsay in Paris. The depicted environment seems to be a small, shady grove with a small pond in the background. A woman in a white chemise emerges from that pond and bends over, while a man seated in the foreground gestures toward another man, who seems to be staring off into a space behind the viewer. The fancy and overdressed state of the two men starkly contrasts the nudity of the third figure in the foreground, who seems to pay little attention to them. For 10 points, name this painting which shocked audiences with its nonchalant depiction of the nude female form when it was exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, one of the most influential works of Edouard Manet.
