To studier af vaskekoner 1840s

"To studier af vaskekoner" is a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye, created in the 1840s. It depicts two women engaged in laundry tasks, one scrubbing clothes while the other stands nearby. Rørbye's depiction of everyday scenes with a focus on working-class individuals highlights his interest in social realism, a style that gained popularity in the mid-19th century. The artwork is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
