Comments - Fantastic triptych of young beauties returning home from the bath on a spring evening. The woman at left carries a large paper lantern swinging from a stick, the light flooding across the scene and illuminating two dogs fighting ferociously in the center. The silhouettes of people on the busy street behind them forms an intriguing backdrop. A terrific scene with masterful shading and handling of the effect of light. A great subject, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
