A Woman doing Laundry is a 1750 oil by Henry Robert Morland, a Rococo painting work, held at Denver Art Museum.
The painting depicts a woman engaged in laundry, standing beside a wooden tub. She is dressed in a floral dress and a white head covering, with a black choker around her neck. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a light-colored apron over her dress. The woman's right hand rests on the tub, while her left hand holds a piece of clothing. In the background, a dark wall provides a subtle contrast to the woman's attire. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet diligence, as the woman attends to her domestic duties.
