The foreground shows women engaged in the daily task of laundering clothes by a gently flowing river. Their graceful figures are positioned at the water's edge, surrounded by the vivid greens of the grassy bank, under the watchful presence of towering trees that sway gently under the openness of the sky.Daubigny's skill in employing soft, naturalistic colors and a loose brushwork enriches the pastoral quality of the scene, drawing the viewer into a reflective space.
