Pietro Longhi was an Italian painter known for his genre scenes of Venetian life, particularly the daily routines of the working class. "The Washerwomen" depicts four figures involved in the everyday task of laundry, a common sight in Venice during the 18th century. The painting's realistic portrayal of everyday life showcases Longhi's mastery of capturing the details of Venetian society and provides a glimpse into the lives of the working class in this bustling city. The painting is now housed in the Ca' Rezzonico museum in Venice, Italy.
