"The Washerwoman" is a notable painting by the French artist Henri Edmond Cross, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. Created in 1895, this work exemplifies Cross's mastery of color and light, as well as his dedication to the principles of Divisionism, a technique characterized by the separation of colors into individual dots or patches which interact optically.

Henri Edmond Cross, born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix in 1856, was initially influenced by the Impressionists but later became a key proponent of Neo-Impressionism, alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Cross's work is distinguished by its vibrant palette and meticulous technique, which aimed to capture the luminosity and harmony of natural light.

"The Washerwoman" depicts a serene rural scene, featuring a woman engaged in the timeless activity of washing clothes by a riverbank. The composition is marked by its tranquil atmosphere and the harmonious interplay of colors. Cross employs a pointillist technique, meticulously applying small, distinct dots of color that blend seamlessly when viewed from a distance. This method not only enhances the vibrancy of the scene but also imbues it with a sense of movement and life.

The painting reflects Cross's fascination with the idyllic and pastoral aspects of life, a theme recurrent in his oeuvre. His use of light and color in "The Washerwoman" demonstrates his ability to convey the subtleties of natural light and its effects on the landscape and figures within it. The work is a testament to Cross's skill in capturing the essence of a moment through his innovative approach to color and form.

"The Washerwoman" is held in high regard within the art community and is considered a significant example of Neo-Impressionist art. It continues to be celebrated for its technical brilliance and its ability to evoke a sense of peace and simplicity, characteristic of Cross's broader body of work.
