About this work
A woman in a sleeveless white-and-blue dress stands pinning a wet sheet to a line strung across a wooden shed. Below her a nude child leans over a basin set on a stool, scrubbing or rinsing something with both hands. Sunlit laundry, pale and blue-tinged, fills the upper half, while rough plank walls in ochre and brown frame the pair on either side.
Warm golden-brown tones of the timber ground the composition, set against cool white and pale blue in the hanging cloth. Paint is applied in bold, fluid strokes, especially in the folds of the sheet and the woman's dress. Strong overhead light picks out both figures, giving the everyday chore a bright, unhurried, wholesome feel.
