Spălătorese bretone (Plougastel-Daoulas) is a 1920 unspecified by Rodica Maniu, depicting Washing, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows Breton washwomen in a muted harbor scene from 1920. Their dresses are deep blue against soft gray rocks and water. The artist, Rodica Maniu-Mützner, studied in Paris before moving to Brittany. She painted local workers with quiet dignity, not the usual grand tourist views. Take a closer look at the brushwork—thick paint builds up where light hits the cloth. See it in person at the Museum of Ethnography.
Rodica Maniu (1892–1958) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
