An oil painting of a Dutch washerwoman, based on the pencil sketch I posted yesterday.

Now she is working in her backyard, on a cobbled area, with her zinc washing tub and her manual wringing machine, her cans and her ladles. She has been busy, the clothes she has already done are hung on several clotheslines to dry. This is a beautiful, sunny, autumn day, with grass already yellow but trees leaves still green.

Preliminary sketch of a Dutch washerwoman in traditional clothes, for a future oil painting. She is doing manual laundry washing in a zinc tub, surrounded with clear water cans. A manual wringing machine is placed before her.

Graphite pencils on Bristol paper, size A4.
