Folding the Linen (Le pliage du linge)

Edouard Vuillard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people standing and holding a large piece of fabric together. The individuals are seen from head to about mid-calf, with their faces not clearly defined. One person has long hair and another has a bun hairstyle. They are dressed in modest, long flowing dresses or skirts. The background consists of a pattern resembling foliage or a textured wall. There are no visible jewelry or objects apart from the fabric they are holding. The setting appears to be indoors or in a space near a garden, but it is hard to determine due to the detailed background pattern.
