La Circassienne au Bain
Lost painting by Merry-Joseph Blondel
La Circassienne au Bain
La Circassienne au Bain ("The Circassian Lady in the Bath"), also known as Une Baigneuse ("A Bathing Lady"), was a large Neoclassical oil painting from 1814 by Merry-Joseph Blondel depicting a life-sized young naked Circassian woman bathing in an idealized setting from classical antiquity. The painting was lost with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. When financial compensation claims were filed with US commissioner Gilchrist in January 1913, the painting gained notoriety as the subject of the largest claim made against the White Star Line for the loss of a single item of baggage or cargo.
