"Die Mohrenwasche" is a notable work of Romantic art by the German sculptor Karl Begas the Elder, also known as Karl Joseph Begas. Born in 1794, Begas was a proponent of the Romantic movement that spanned the late 18th to mid-19th century, known for emphasizing emotion, individualism, and an appreciation of nature and the exotic.

In "Die Mohrenwasche," which roughly translates to "The Moorish Wash" or "The Washerwoman," the sculptor crafts a dynamic scene in which an African woman is seen washing clothes. The work is seen as an example of Begas' fascination with the non-European "other," a hallmark of the Romantic movement's interest in that which was considered outside or exotic.

The statue is noted for its attention to detail, depicting the naturalistic texture and folds of the clothes and the realistic representation of the woman's features. Begas likely relied on contemporary reports, images, and encounters with people of African descent in Germany to inform his depiction.

"Die Mohrenwasche" serves as a pivotal artifact within the historic and cultural context of Romantic art, offering a glimpse into the movement's views on multi-culturalism and the perception of the 'exotic'. It forms part of Begas' oeuvre, proving his astute attention to detail, and masterful handling of sculptural form, and is an artifact of its socio-political times. As of now, the location of "Die Mohrenwasche" is unknown.
