The Bath of Psyche by Frederic Leighton is an oil painting exhibited in 1890 that depicts the mythological figure Psyche at her bath. The work was created during the later period of Leighton's career, when he was renowned for his classical subjects and refined academic technique. The painting exemplifies the artist’s interest in mythological themes and the idealized human form, reflecting the influence of ancient Greek and Roman art on late nineteenth-century British painting. The composition centers on a nude female figure standing at the edge of a bath, partially draped in a translucent white cloth.

She is framed by tall, fluted columns and a dark curtain, with a marble basin and a large urn at her feet. The surface of the water at the bottom of the canvas reflects her figure, while the background opens to a sky with clouds. The palette is dominated by pale flesh tones, creamy whites, and warm golds, rendered with smooth, meticulous brushwork that emphasizes the softness of the skin and the texture of the fabrics. The Bath of Psyche was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1890, where it was met with critical acclaim for its technical mastery and classical beauty.

The painting is in Tate Britain in London. It remains one of Leighton's most celebrated works, frequently cited as an exemplar of late Victorian classicism and the artist’s enduring fascination with mythological narratives.
