Honoré Daumier (1808 – 1879)
Opdag Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), den franske mester i realisme & satire. Udforsk hans kraftfulde litografier, malerier & skulpturer, der kritiserer 1900-tallets samfund og inspirerede moderne kunst.
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.
