The blue bucket is a 1907 oil by José Júlio de Sousa Pinto, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Washing, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
The painting depicts a woman standing by a river, holding a white cloth in her right hand. She is dressed in a dark green top and a long skirt, with a white headscarf. In front of her, there is a wooden cart with a large blue bucket on it. The woman appears to be engaged in washing clothes, as there are other clothes scattered around her. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene river, with trees and grassy areas visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and simplicity.
