"Scrub Ladies" is a 1937 lithograph by American artist Santos Zingale, known for his Social Realist style. The artwork depicts two women, presumably cleaning a floor, in a realistic and somewhat stark manner, emphasizing their physical labor. The composition draws attention to the women’s bent postures and the heavy bucket they are carrying, highlighting their manual work and the hardship of their labor. This piece reflects Zingale's keen interest in portraying the lives of working-class individuals, often focusing on their physical and emotional struggles.
