The painting was painted in Paris, where Kustodiev arrived with his wife and his newly born son, Cyril, after graduating from the Academy.
A woman in whom one can easily recognize the artist’s wife bathes the child. “Birdie”, as the artist called it, does not “yell”, does not splash – become quiet and intently examines – whether a toy, some duckling, or just a sunny hare: there are so many around them – on his wet strong body, on the edges of the pelvis, on the walls, on a magnificent bouquet of flowers!
