Crouched on a low bench, a woman leans over a wash basin filled with water, in which she scrubs a white garment. She wears a light blue dress, a red and orange striped skirt, and an apron. She faces left, but looks toward us with a smile and a raised eyebrow. She has pale skin, blue eyes and rosy cheeks, and her blonde hair is tucked into her frilled white bonnet. Beside the basin is a pitcher on a stool, and cluttered around her are a basket, a sheet hung over a cabinet to dry, and other basins.
