Washerwoman

Charles-Émile Jacque

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a woman. The woman wears a head covering, a long-sleeved shirt, a long skirt, and shoes. She faces left and slightly bends at the waist over a basket. The basket sits on a three-legged stand. The woman appears to have her right hand inside the basket. Her left arm hangs beside her body. The woman's facial features are not visible. The background of the image is a plain, light-colored surface. The drawing style is sketchy and impressionistic, with visible lines and shading. Text appears in the top-left corner and at the bottom of the image.
