Oil On Paper "bathers" Miniature (diaz ?)

If I allow myself to dare this attribution, it is because by leafing through the catalog raisonné of the Artist, a work listed under the number 1866, "Dolce farniente" presents two characters quite close to them.
In any case, it is about an oval oil on paper approximately 12 X 9.5 cm, marouflé on cardboard and presented in a gilt frame 16,5 X 14 cm which I just found (after having presented it during almost 20 years frameless on a small easel at home!), maybe a little later but that puts it well worth.
The attitude of the bathers, treated in a fat paste and fair, very removed, evokes the movement and places them in a more suggested landscape than described.
Very dirty, a small trace of light fold in the lower left where the card is slightly smaller, tiny missing in the hair.
