About the piece
In this evocative 1880 oil on panel, Eugène Boudin captures a group of washerwomen at the riverbank during the magic hour of dusk. Known as a precursor to Impressionism and a mentor to Claude Monet, Boudin’s mastery of light and atmospheric perspective is on full display here, as the glowing orange sky reflects softly on the water while silhouetted ships line the distant horizon.
