The Laundresses (circa 1884) by Edgar Degas portrays two working women engaged in the laborious task of laundry, a recurring theme in Degas's exploration of everyday life. The composition shows one woman stretching and yawning, while the other concentrates on her ironing, emphasizing the fatigue and monotony of their work. Degas uses loose brushstrokes and a muted palette of blues, pinks, and earthy tones to capture the rough textures of their clothing and the linens they are handling. The intimate, candid perspective allows viewers to feel the physicality and exhaustion of the laundresses’ daily routine. The soft lighting and shadow play give depth to the scene, adding a sense of realism and immediacy while maintaining Degas’s impressionistic style. This work highlights his focus on the labor and lives of ordinary people, blending a sense of empathy with his characteristic attention to gesture and movement.
