Edgar Degas, a student of classical art in his early age was born in 1934 in France.
He became a famous artist for his diverse artistic prowess.
In addition to doing the painting work, he had continued experimenting with sculpture and printing making throughout his life.
However his main area of occupation remained drawing and painting.
Though regarded as one of the founder of impressionism along with the painters like Renoir and other, Degas preferred to be known as a realist painter of his time.
   Unlike other impressionist painters of his time and the other artists with whom he worked, Edgar Degas preferred working indoors.
He depended upon his memory and the female models that he called to appear in his studio.
In case of landscapes, too, he had repeated the subjects very often, doing certain variation of colour scheme here or the positioning the subjects there.
   In one of his paintings, 'Woman in A Tub', the master painter Degas has depicted the natural beauty of a bathing woman.
The woman is shown in action of bathing.
The nude female's action of rubbing her neck is delicately shown.
Her sitting in a tub is so nicely painted that we can see the shadow of her hand on bottom of the bathing tub.
This shows how neatly and skilfully Degas painted.
   Here in this painting Degas has demonstrated his skill to paint nude females.
We can see how accurate he is in showing the falling of light and effects of shadows on the nude body.
