This Little Laundress – A Provocative Masterpiece
“This little laundress is charming, but she’s a rascal I wouldn’t trust an inch,” remarked the critic Denis Diderot when this painting made its debut in 1761. Indeed, Jean-Baptiste Greuze transformed the conventional portrayal of a washerwoman, moving away from its association with hard work and infusing it with the tantalizing sensuality characteristic of Rococo art. Set against a backdrop of scattered wet and drying laundry, a disheveled maidservant, with one stocking and slipper exposed, meets the viewer's gaze with a bold and provocative stare.
