By elevating their work to the realm of art, Degas sheds light on the often-invisible contributions of working-class women.

Impressionist Roots: Capturing the Fleeting Moment

"Laundry Girls Ironing" exemplifies Degas' commitment to Impressionism. The painting captures a fleeting moment, frozen in time, as the laundry girls go about their daily tasks. The use of soft, muted colors and the absence of sharp outlines create a sense of atmospheric depth, inviting viewers to linger in this intimate scene.

Degas' keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life make "Laundry Girls Ironing" a powerful document of women's experiences. The painting offers a glimpse into the lives of these working women, their struggles, their resilience, and their quiet dignity.
