"Washerwomen on the Banks of a River" is a notable painting by the French realist artist Léon Augustin Lhermitte, created in 1881. The artwork is a testament to Lhermitte's dedication to depicting rural life and labor in France during the late 19th century. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the effects of light, Lhermitte's painting portrays a group of washerwomen working along the banks of a river, a common scene in the rural French countryside of the time.

The painting measures 150.5 x 200.7 cm and is executed in oil on canvas. It showcases Lhermitte's skill in rendering the textures of the natural environment and the figures' clothing, as well as the reflective qualities of water. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures of the washerwomen anchoring the foreground, while the river and the landscape extend into the background, inviting the viewer's eye to wander through the scene.

Lhermitte's work is often compared to that of Jean-François Millet, another prominent realist painter, for their shared interest in the lives of peasants and laborers. "Washerwomen on the Banks of a River" is a fine example of Lhermitte's contribution to the Realist movement, which sought to portray everyday life with honesty and without idealization. The painting is celebrated for its empathetic portrayal of the working class and its reflection of the social realities of the period.

This painting is part of Lhermitte's broader oeuvre, which includes other well-known works such as "The Harvesters' Meal" and "Paying the Harvesters." "Washerwomen on the Banks of a River" is held in high regard for its historical and artistic value and continues to be studied for its portrayal of 19th-century French rural life. The painting can be found in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it remains accessible to the public and continues to contribute to the understanding of the Realist movement in art.
