Dupont Vicars 1901 Text:

P.L. Bouchard is a French artist, of what some critic has classified as the School of Gerome. He is a Parisian, and made his studies at the Ecole des beaux Arts in the class over which M. Gerome exercised direction. "In After the Bath" he shows the interior of a bathing room, where the favorite of the harem has been making her ablutions. M. Bouchard is, as a draughtsman and colorist, and in his style of painting, one of the foremost of living French artists.
