Gypsy Scene is a 1892 oil by Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Washing, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a scene of people washing outdoors. In the foreground, a man stands beside a white horse, holding a child on his shoulders. To the left, a woman sits on the ground, with a pot emitting smoke in front of her. The background features trees and a field, with houses visible in the distance. The sky above is light blue. The scene appears to be set in a rural area, with the people engaged in everyday activities. The use of warm colors adds a sense of coziness to the scene.
