HONORE DAUMIER. The Laundress
![HONORE DAUMIER. The Laundress. Artist: Honoré Daumier (French, Marseilles 1808-1879 Valmondois). Dimensions: 19 1/4 x 13 in. (48.9 x 33 cm). Date: 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.](/photos/prev/MjM2ZDYwMA/album_alb3628218.webp)
