"Laundry Girls Ironing" is a notable work by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1884-1886. This painting is part of a series in which Degas explored the lives of laundresses, a subject that allowed him to examine themes of labor and the working-class women of Paris. The artwork depicts two women engaged in the task of ironing, a motif that Degas revisited multiple times, capturing the physical strain and the tedium experienced by these workers.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that Degas mastered alongside his celebrated pastel works. "Laundry Girls Ironing" is characterized by its dynamic composition and the expressive use of color and light, which reflect the influence of Impressionism on Degas' style. However, Degas often rejected the Impressionist label, preferring to be seen as an independent realist or naturalist.

In "Laundry Girls Ironing," Degas employs unconventional viewpoints and cropped figures, a technique that reveals his interest in photography and Japanese prints. The composition conveys a sense of immediacy and the candid nature of the scene, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. The figures are rendered with a sense of weight and solidity, while their faces remain obscured or turned away, emphasizing their anonymity and the universality of their toil.

This work is significant in Degas' oeuvre as it highlights his continued focus on the ordinary moments of contemporary life, particularly the experiences of women. It also showcases his ability to evoke empathy for his subjects through the depiction of their working conditions. "Laundry Girls Ironing" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the discourse on the representation of labor and the working class in art history.
