"La Blanchisseuse" is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1761 during the Rococo period, which is known for its elaborate ornamentation and playful themes. The painting is a genre work, depicting a young laundress, and is notable for its fine detail, emotional resonance, and social commentary, which were characteristic of Greuze's work.

The painting portrays a young woman, a blanchisseuse or laundress, in a moment of quiet toil as she engages in the laborious task of washing linen. Her expression is one of contemplation and weariness, which, combined with the intimate domestic setting, evokes a sense of empathy in the viewer. Greuze's skillful use of light and shadow highlights the texture of the linen and the softness of the woman's skin, adding to the realism of the scene.

"La Blanchisseuse" is significant in art history for its departure from the frivolous subject matter typical of Rococo art, instead offering a more serious and moralizing narrative. Greuze was known for his ability to capture the moral virtues and simple dignity of ordinary people, and this painting is a prime example of his approach to genre painting. It reflects the changing tastes of the period, as the Enlightenment began to influence artists to consider the roles and lives of common folk.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its contribution to the transition towards Neoclassicism. It has been exhibited in various art institutions and remains a subject of study for its representation of 18th-century French society and the evolving artistic trends of the time. "La Blanchisseuse" continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within Jean-Baptiste Greuze's oeuvre, marking an important moment in the history of French painting.
