"La Récureuse" (1737) is an oil painting by the French artist André Bouys (1656–1740), who was active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The painting depicts a domestic scene, a genre for which Bouys was particularly known. In this work, the artist portrays a female servant, or "récureuse," engaged in the act of scouring or cleaning kitchenware, a common task of the time. The painting is notable for its detailed representation of the servant's attire and the kitchen environment, reflecting the social realities and material culture of the period.

Bouys, a student of François de Troy, was recognized for his portraits and genre scenes that often captured the lives of the bourgeoisie and the working class with a sense of intimacy and realism. "La Récureuse" exemplifies his skill in rendering textures and surfaces, from the sheen of metal pots to the roughness of earthenware, and the interplay of light and shadow. The painting's composition, with its attention to the figure's expression and posture, invites viewers to consider the lived experience of the subject, thus offering a window into the everyday life of 18th-century France.

The work is part of Bouys' broader oeuvre, which contributes to our understanding of French genre painting in the period leading up to the Rococo movement. While it may not be as widely recognized as the works of his contemporaries, "La Récureuse" is a valuable piece for studying the social context and artistic practices of its time. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location or ownership, as well as its exhibition history, are not specified, which may limit a comprehensive understanding of its provenance and impact on art history.
