The Laundresses

Deutsche Malerei 1622–1924, 1899

This is a painting of a dim street with several people carrying sacks. The people wear long skirts and aprons in dark colors, and their large sacks are filled with white cloth. The people are bent over under the weight of the sacks. They walk across a cobblestone street in front of a building with a lit interior and blue wallpaper. On the right side of the painting is another street with more buildings and a carriage where people appear to pass up their sacks to a person on top.
