About the piece

Painted around 1835 by Camille Flers, this work depicts a tranquil pastoral scene where washerwomen labor beside a reflective river. The composition is anchored by lush, overhanging trees and charming thatched cottages, all bathed in the soft, diffused light of a sprawling sky that suggests the early naturalism of the French landscape tradition.
