The present painting depicts the interior of a 16th-century bathhouse used by both men and women - though the women predominate - as well as a few children. The anonymous painter has drawn on a variety of sources, mainly prints, from Germany, France and Italy as models for his figures. The Bathhouse is just what it appears to be: a scene of uninhibited eroticism designed for a client well-versed in contemporary imagery.
