"Les Lavandières" (The Washerwomen) is an oil painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard, created in 1888. This work is notable for its subject matter, style, and place within the context of Bernard's career and the broader Post-Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a group of women washing clothes by a river, a common theme that reflects the rural, everyday life of the period. Bernard's approach to this traditional subject is marked by the use of bold outlines and flat areas of color, characteristics that align with the Synthetist style he helped develop alongside Paul Gauguin.

The composition of "Les Lavandières" is structured with a strong sense of order and a rhythmic repetition of forms, which serves to harmonize the figures with their environment. The painting's palette is dominated by earthy tones, punctuated by the vivid blues and whites of the women's garments, which draw the viewer's eye to the central activity of the scene. Bernard's technique in this work reflects his move away from the Impressionist focus on light and atmosphere, instead embracing a more symbolic and decorative aesthetic that would influence the Nabis and other avant-garde artists of the time.

"Les Lavandières" is significant in art history for its embodiment of the transition from Impressionism to the more abstract and conceptual approaches of Post-Impressionism. It captures the essence of rural French life while also showcasing Bernard's innovative artistic vision. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of modern art and is often discussed in the context of Bernard's collaborations with other notable artists of his era, such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. The work is part of a collection in a museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical and aesthetic importance.
