"La Petite Laveuse" (The Little Washerwoman) is an oil painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1892. This work is part of a series of paintings in which Gauguin explored the life, people, and landscapes of Tahiti, seeking an artistic refuge from what he considered the corrupting influence of European civilization.

The painting depicts a young Tahitian girl engaged in the act of washing clothes by a river, a common chore in the daily lives of the island's inhabitants. Gauguin's use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines reflects his move away from the naturalism of his earlier Impressionist works towards a more symbolic and abstracted style that would come to be associated with the Symbolist movement. The subject matter, a figure in harmony with nature, is typical of Gauguin's Tahitian oeuvre and illustrates his romanticized vision of Tahitian life.

"La Petite Laveuse" is notable for its blend of exoticism and primitivism, themes that are recurrent in Gauguin's work from this period. The painting is characterized by a warm palette dominated by earthy tones and the use of contrasting colors to create depth and interest. The figure's pose and the serene expression on her face convey a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the purity and simplicity of the scene.

As with many of Gauguin's Tahitian paintings, "La Petite Laveuse" has been the subject of critical analysis and interpretation. Scholars have examined the work in the context of Gauguin's personal mythology, his search for an unspoiled paradise, and his complex relationship with colonialism and the representation of indigenous peoples.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be exhibited in retrospectives of Gauguin's work, contributing to the ongoing discussion of his legacy and the impact of his Tahitian period on the development of modern art.
