About the piece

Painted in 1892, this oil on panel by Impressionist master Eugène Boudin captures a quintessential nineteenth-century genre scene. The composition features a row of washerwomen at work against the tranquil backdrop of the Touques river and a distant, atmospheric shoreline, rendered with the loose, luminous brushwork and sophisticated tonal range for which Boudin is celebrated.
