"The Laundress" (c. 1869) is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the French artist Edgar Degas. It presents a woman, presumably a laundress, immersed in her laborious daily task of ironing. This painting is a part of an emerging theme in Degas's work during this time, where he extensively illustrates working-class women engaged in their ordinary professions.

In "The Laundress," Degas captures the aesthetic of everyday life and the raw reality of ordinary persons. The remarkable details of the scene, from the woman's strained facial expression to the intricate folds of the clothes she is ironing, reflects Degas's interest in reflecting Paris's urban life in the latter half of the 19th century.

Degas's choice of theme may be traced back to his French Realist influences, notably Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet. However, Degas sets his work apart through his unique composition, the unusual angles at which he presents his subjects, and his delicate handling of color and light, giving the painting its distinctive, almost snapshot-like quality.

"The Laundress" is noted for the artist's sympathetic rendering of the worker's fatigued state and the physical embodiment of the toll her work takes. This contributes to the painting's energy, underscoring the monumental aspect of the laundress's daily toil. Presently, the painting is in a private collection.
