"Praczki" (English: "Laundresses") is a renowned woodcut created by the Polish artist Władysław Skoczylas (1883–1934). Skoczylas, a prominent figure in the Polish art scene, was known for his contributions to the revival of folk art in Poland and his dedication to national traditions. His work "Praczki" is one of his most famous pieces and is often cited as a prime example of his artistic philosophy, which sought to merge the essence of Polish folklore with the techniques of modern art.

The woodcut depicts a group of women engaged in the traditional task of laundering clothes, a common scene in rural Poland at the turn of the 20th century. Skoczylas's use of bold lines and stylization reflects the influence of the folk art that he admired, while also demonstrating his mastery of the woodcut medium. The composition is characterized by its rhythmic patterns and the harmonious interplay of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of dignity and timelessness.

"Praczki" not only serves as a visual record of Polish rural life but also embodies the artist's nationalistic aspirations. Through his art, Skoczylas aimed to preserve and celebrate the cultural identity of Poland, which was undergoing rapid modernization and facing the pressures of foreign influences during his lifetime. The work is celebrated for its aesthetic qualities and its cultural significance, making it an important piece in the canon of Polish art history.

The woodcut has been widely exhibited and is held in several museum collections, including the National Museum in Warsaw. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a symbol of Polish cultural heritage.
