Dying the clothes 1905

"Dying the Clothes" (1905) by Portuguese artist José Malhoa depicts a woman kneeling and stirring a bowl of red dye with her hands. The scene suggests a traditional method of dyeing fabric, likely with natural dyes. The woman's focused expression and the surrounding landscape create a sense of rural life and manual labor. Malhoa, known for his realism and depictions of everyday life, captures the simplicity and beauty of this everyday task.
