content: This painting depicts two women washing clothes. One woman, wearing a purple dress, red hat, and white apron, stands over a blue tub on a red table. She holds a white object against a slanting blue washboard in the tub. Behind her is a second woman standing over a large black cauldron. The cauldron is placed over a fire and has a white froth on its surface. The woman standing by the cauldron holds a long narrow implement in the froth. She wears a yellow dress and cap and a green apron. There is a clothesline overhead with sheets and items of clothing pinned on it. The artist has signed her initials [CH] in the lower right margin, with the "C" written backwards.
