Laundresses at Eragny 1898

"Laundresses at Eragny," painted in 1898 by Camille Pissarro, portrays two women engaged in laundry work under a simple shelter. The Impressionist style, characteristic of Pissarro's later works, is evident in the use of visible brushstrokes and light, dappled color. The scene captures a moment of daily life in the village of Eragny-sur-Epte, where Pissarro resided and painted frequently. The painting's intimate scale and focus on ordinary activities reflects the artist's interest in depicting the lives of working-class people.
