Painter of Youth Discovering the work of Henry Scott Tuke (1858 - 1929)

No.4 The Bathers (1888-89) Colour and light is a quality in Tuke's work. There is a contrast between white flesh and the setting. Deep blue waters, red clouds, and 'boys the colour of ivory,'

In The Bathers, Tuke hides something that the viewer cannot see. A fourth boy's hand is visible at the edge of the frame as it grasps the side of the boat, and the standing boy points to whatever we cannot see.

The painting is now owned by Leeds Art Gallery in West Yorkshire.
