Drie vrouwen doen de was in een rivier in het westen van India 1764 - 1806

This etching by Louis Charles Ruotte, titled "Drie vrouwen doen de was in een rivier in het westen van India" (1764-1806), depicts three women engaged in laundry in a river in western India. The print is part of a series, "Blanchisseuse des Indes Occidentales," and is dedicated to Sir John Frederick Bar. The scene is a depiction of colonial life and the labor performed by women in colonial India. Ruotte uses a realistic style to capture the details of the women's clothing, their postures, and the surrounding landscape. This engraving provides insight into daily life and social dynamics of 18th-century colonial India.
