"Laundresses" (French: "Les Blanchisseuses") is a series of artworks by the French artist Edgar Degas, created in the late 19th century. Degas, renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and his exploration of the human figure in everyday life, turned his attention to the labor of laundresses, offering a poignant insight into the lives of working women in Paris during this period. The series encompasses paintings, pastels, and etchings, each capturing the physical exertion and the often-overlooked dignity of these women as they engaged in their daily work.

Degas's interest in the subject of laundresses is reflective of his broader fascination with the movement and grace of the human body under various conditions of work and leisure. In these works, he meticulously depicted the strenuous physical activities involved in laundry work, such as carrying heavy baskets, ironing, and folding clothes. The laundresses are often portrayed in dynamic poses, with an emphasis on the muscular exertion and the steamy, oppressive environment in which they worked.

The "Laundresses" series is notable for its innovative use of composition and perspective, with Degas frequently employing unusual angles and cropping to enhance the sense of immediacy and immersion in the scene. His use of color and light further accentuates the textures of fabrics and the warmth of the interiors, contributing to the vivid portrayal of the laundresses' working conditions.

Through the "Laundresses" series, Degas not only showcased his mastery of form and movement but also offered a social commentary on the labor and lives of working-class women in Paris. These works stand as a testament to Degas's ability to find beauty and dignity in the mundane and are celebrated for their contribution to the depiction of modern life in art. The series remains an important part of Degas's oeuvre, highlighting his commitment to exploring the complexities of human life and labor through his art.
