A Lady in Her Bath is a painting by François Clouet.
It was painted in 1571.
It measures 92.3 x 81.2 cm (36 5/16 x 31 15/16 in.)
The picture is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
It is one of only three paintings signed by Clouet.
The teenaged bather is unknown.
It is possible that she is Diane de Poitiers, mistress of King Henry II of France when she was a teenager.
Scholar Roger Trinquet suggested in 1966 that the teenaged lady is Mary Queen of Scots.
The lady's face resembles other portraits of Mary, especially a drawing by Clouet depicting Mary in mourning.
Trinquet believes the painting was intended as a satire for a Huguenot patron.
The painting set a fashion for portraits of bathers.
The National Gallery writes: "The masklike symmetry of the bather's face makes exact identification difficult; scholars have suggested that her aristocratic features indicate that she is one of several royal mistresses, most notable among them Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of Henry II.
It is possible that the nude, a Venus type, represents ideal beauty rather than a specific individual.
The contrast of the smoothly rendered nude figure to the intricate surface details of the fruit, draperies, and jewelry, presents a union of Flemish and Italian motifs that characterized French courtly art of the sixteenth century."

Years ago, Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons attempt to conquer and remake Earth through the combined energies of the Mother Boxes before they are foiled by a unified army that included the Amazons, Atlanteans and humans.
After repelling Steppenwolf's army, the Mother Boxes are separated and hidden in locations around the world.
In the present, the world is in mourning following the death of Superman.
Sensing humanity's fear, Steppenwolf and his Parademons return to Earth to resume their hunt for the Mother Boxes through kidnapping several employees of S.T.A.R. Labs, which is in possession of one box.
Having investigated the kidnappings and encountered a Parademon himself, Bruce Wayne decides to move forward in recruiting his planned team of metahumans as he believes an invasion is coming.
Steppenwolf manages to retrieve the Mother Box from Themyscira, prompting Queen Hippolyta to warn her daughter Diana Prince.
Diana joins Wayne's group and informs him about Steppenwolf and the Mother Boxes.
The two of them fail to persuade Arthur Curry and Victor Stone, but manage to recruit Barry Allen into the team.
Stone later joins the group after his father Silas is among those kidnapped, and Steppenwolf attacks Atlantis to retrieve the second Mother Box.
The team receives intel from Commissioner James Gordon that the Parademons are traveling underground, and conclude that Steppenwolf's army is based in an abandoned facility.
Although the group manages to rescue the kidnapped employees, the facility is flooded during combat, which traps the team until Curry rescues them, having decided to join them after Steppenwolf's attack on Atlantis.
Stone retrieves the last Mother Box from S.T.A.R. Labs for the group to analyze.
Wayne decides to use the Mother Box to resurrect Superman not only to help them fight Steppenwolf's army, but also to restore hope in humanity.
Diana and Curry are hesitant about the idea, but Wayne forms a secret contingency plan.
Clark Kent's body is exhumed and placed in the waters of the Kryptonian ship, and Allen provides a strong energy blast to activate the Box and resurrect Superman.
Superman, however, possesses few memories, and he attacks the group after Stone accidentally launches a projectile at him.
On the verge of being killed by Superman, Wayne enacts his contingency plan: Lois Lane.
Superman calms down and leaves with Lois to his family home where he reflects and tries to recover his memories.
With the last Mother Box unguarded, Steppenwolf retrieves it with ease.
Without Superman to aid them, the remaining five heroes travel to a village in Russia where Steppenwolf plans to unite the boxes once again and reshape the world for his nephew Darkseid.
The team fight their way through the Parademons to reach Steppenwolf, although they are unable to distract him enough for Stone to separate the boxes.
Superman arrives and assists Allen in evacuating the city, as well as Stone in separating the Mother Boxes.
The united heroes manage to defeat Steppenwolf, who, overcome with fear, is attacked by his own Parademons, before they are all taken away by a Boom Tube.

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing happened on February 26, 1993 in the bottom section of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, United States.
Six people were killed, including a woman who was 7 months pregnant.
About 1,042 people were injured.
The plan was to use truck bombs parked in the parking lot of the bottom of the North Tower.
The main leader of the al-Qaeda cell sent to destroy the buildings hoped the explosions would cause the North Tower to collapse and hit the South Tower.
The cell's leader was Ramzi Yousef.
The group wanted to destroy the building because many Jews worked in it.
Their leader Osama bin Laden was disappointed to see the buildings were not destroyed, so he wanted another attack on the same building.
The result would be the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Amalasuntha (c. 495 – 30 April 534/535) was a queen of the Ostrogoths, a branch of Goths, from 526 to 534.
She was a Gothic princess and daughter of the Italian king, Theodoric the Great.
Amalasuntha had been married to Eutharic, an unknown Gothic nobleman.
She gave birth to a son named Athalaric in 518.
Her husband later died, leaving Amalasuntha a widow to raise their young son.
After her son Athalaric died, she fought for the kingdom, which was very difficult, but it increased her support of the Romans.
Amalasuntha was an extremely well educated woman.
She studied Greek and Latin and she became a lifelong contributor of writings and arts.
Theodoric (her father) supplied her with a Roman education because he had an interest in creating peaceful Roman-Gothic relations.
Her husband Eutharic was assigned Theodoric's heir, which excluded Theodoric's nephew from inheritance and power.
Her husband Eutharic died in 522, and Theodoric followed in 526.
As a result, Athalaric inherited the throne.
Athalaric was still very young so Amalasuntha became the regent
Her accomplishments over her years of being a regent, were applauded by many people like the historian Procopius who spoke of her bravery and knowledge.
She pursued her goal of creating good connections between the Romans and the Goths, which had been torn down in the years of her father’s rule, mostly during the imprisonment of Theodoric  and the killing of Boethius, a Roman political figure.
She gave Boethius back his captured estates and began to look for the Roman Senate and then sent a letter to the emperor of Constantinople, asking him to forgive her and gave a Roman education to her son.
All of this to get on the emperors good side.
Amalasuntha attempted to improve relations with barbarian people to make peace with the Gothic nobility.
Amalasuntha improved relations with the Burgundians, but the alliance ended.

Brunhilda traveled to Austrasia to marry King Sigebert I. King Sigebert I's half brother, King Chilperic I married Brunhilda's sister, Galswintha.
However, Galswintha was not happy, and wanted to go home and take back her dowry.
King Chilperic refused, and murdered her.
King Chilperic remmarried Fredegund, his first wife.
Lots of tension was created between Fredegund and Brunhilda.
In 575 C.E., King Sigebert was murdered by King Chilperic, and Brunhilda was exiled to Paris.
Later, Brunhilda married Fredegund and Chilperic's son, Merovech.
Brunhilda gained power, but Merovech and Brunhilda were split up by King Chilperic, and Brunhilda was exiled once more.
In 585 C.E., King Chilperic died, believed to have been murdered by Fredegund.
Fredegund started to favor Brunhilda.
However, Brunhilda was caught by another of Fredegund and Chilperic’s sons, Chlotar II.
She was blamed for the murder of ten kings, including her husband, children, grandchildren, Merovech, and Chilperic.
She was found guilty (even though she was not) and put to death in a very gruesome way; she was tied to the back of a wild horse and dragged to her death.
