The Laundress

Artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879)

Original Dimensions: 19 1/4" x 13"

Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

About Artwork: (186[3?]) "This painting depicts a subject visible from Daumier’s studio on the quai d'Anjou in Paris: laundresses returning from laundry boats moored on the Seine. Despite the weight of her bulky load, the woman tenderly extends her hand to help a child up the steps of the embankment. With her sturdy form silhouetted against a bright background, the humble worker acquires a certain monumentality. This picture is the largest and possibly the last of three painted versions of the composition; Daumier’s pigments have deteriorated, obscuring the last digit of the date inscribed at the lower left, but in 1893 it was recorded as 1863." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
