Auvers (Washerwomen)

Millet, Daubigny en Barbizon, 1861

This artwork depicts a riverside scene with washerwomen engaged in their work close to us. The horizon is placed low, showing an expansive, cloud-filled sky. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the movement of the clouds and water. The color palette is predominantly muted with earthy tones and soft grays. A boat is visible on the river, and in the distance, a figure with animals is seen walking along the riverbank.
