More about this artwork

Titled "A Woman Ironing" and created in 1873, this evocative painting by Edgar Degas captures the everyday life and labors of a woman immersed in her domestic duties. In this composition, Degas focuses on the figure of a woman bending over her ironing task, her body silhouetted against a softly illuminated background. Her form is painted skilfully, with strokes that express both the weight of her physical effort and the mundanity of the task.The background, crafted with lighter, fluid brushstrokes, features hanging linens that add a vertical dynamic to the otherwise stoic scene. The contrast between the woman’s dark attire and the paler hues of the laundry emphasizes the focus on her as the central figure. Degas, known for his keen observation, does not just portray the act of ironing but rather evokes a sense of the woman's entire being—her concentration and physical involvement in the chore."A Woman Ironing" is not merely a depiction of a domestic scene but a broader commentary on the roles and responsibilities of women during the 19th century.
