Laundress and Child is a 1761 oil by Hubert Robert, a Rococo painting work, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a woman and child in a natural setting. The woman, dressed in a white dress, is shown hanging a white sheet on a clothesline, while the child stands beside her, looking up at her. A dark-colored dog lies on the ground in front of them. In the background, a stone wall with a fountain is visible, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The artist's use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and intimacy. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Hubert Robert, a French artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes.
Hubert Robert (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1733 – 15 April 1808) was a French painter in the school of Romanticism, noted especially for his landscape paintings and capricci, or semi-fictitious picturesque depictions of ruins in Italy and of France.
