Spălătorese is a 1927 unspecified by Rodica Maniu, held at National Museum of Romanian Literature.
This painting shows five people by a river, doing laundry. Two women sit on a low wall, one bends over a wooden tub, and two others stand or crouch near the water’s edge. The clothes are white, the water is greenish, and the sky is a soft gray with a few clouds. Trees lean over the scene, and a boat floats in the distance. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The colors are simple but bright, focusing on the white clothes against the earthy tones. Look up impasto to see how thick paint like this works.
Rodica Maniu (1892–1958) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
