Titled, in ink, on verso. Photographer's "58 Hillfield Court, Belsize Avenue, London, N.W.3" stamp on verso.
This is the only known print of one of Bill Brandt's earliest nudes.
Brandt's annotation in French on the verso "salle de bains" suggests that this print may have been taken in France or included in Brandt's first solo show in Paris in 1938.
The imagery is suggestive of the Parisian work of one of Brandt's contemporaries, Brassai, notably his Paris de nuit (Paris by Night) (1933), which was a clear influence on Brandt's early publications.
