"Le Lavoir près de la Ferme d'Erlan (Pas-de-Calais)" (The Laundress of Erlan Farm (Pas-de-Calais)) is a notable work by the French realist painter Léon Augustin Lhermitte. Created in the late 19th century, this painting exemplifies Lhermitte's dedication to depicting rural life and labor with a profound sense of realism and empathy. Lhermitte, born in 1844 and passing in 1925, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of French rural and peasant life, often focusing on the daily activities and the dignity of his subjects.

This particular painting captures a laundress at work, a common theme in Lhermitte's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in rendering textures and the interplay of light and shadow. Set against the backdrop of Erlan Farm in the Pas-de-Calais region, a locale known for its pastoral beauty and agricultural richness, the painting offers a glimpse into the daily routines that characterized rural French life in the 19th century. The artist's attention to detail, from the depiction of the water in the wash basin to the realistic portrayal of the laundress's attire and expressions, reflects his commitment to realism and his ability to evoke a sense of presence and moment.

Lhermitte's work, including "Le Lavoir près de la Ferme d'Erlan (Pas-de-Calais)," is celebrated for its technical proficiency and its compassionate portrayal of peasant life. His paintings are considered important contributions to the Realist movement in art, standing alongside the works of contemporaries such as Jean-François Millet and Jules Breton. Through his art, Lhermitte offers a window into the rural world of 19th-century France, highlighting the dignity of labor and the beauty of the French countryside. This painting, like many of his works, is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical and cultural significance, providing insight into the lives of those who lived and worked in rural France during this period.
