About the Item
Signed lower right "C. Daubigny". As we gaze upon the painting, we are immediately drawn to the foreground, where a small group of women are diligently washing clothes on the banks of a calm river and surrounded by picturesque trees. A young girl stands nearby, observing the process with curiosity and perhaps learning the intricacies of this craft. In the distance, a lone figure can be seen walking back home after completing her laundry duties, adding a sense of movement to the scene. A hot sunny day is perfectly conveyed by the artist through rich bright colors and the play of light and shadow. In the distance, snow-white clouds slowly float in the sky, giving the landscape peace and serenity. This landscape fully conveys the great importance of the artistic spirituality of the Barbizon school - the connection between nature and the everyday life of ordinary people. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed lower left, framed.

Signature that leads to Charles Daubigny, fra.: Charles - François Daubigny (1817 - 1878), who was one of the painters of the Barbizon school, and is considered an important precursor of impressionism. Initially Daubigny painted in a more traditional style, but this changed after 1843 when he settled in Barbizon to work outside in the nature. Daubigny had his own original view of the landscape. He deliberately rid the landscape of “metaphors”, and in order to avoid excessive “poeticism”, he chose not the most romantic subjects: he depicted washerwomen washing clothes on the river, mussel collectors, and painted river scenes with dilapidated boats and dams. In rural landscapes, Daubigny paid a lot of attention to subtle drawings of light. The artist's favorite motif was French rivers. At the end of the 1850s, he built his famous workshop boat called "Botin", rafted on the Seine in it and painted coastal landscapes from life. Most often he depicted windless days and calm, quiet water. Even more important was his meeting with Camille Corot in 1852 in Optevoz (Isère). From 1852 onward he came under the influence of Gustave Courbet. The two artists were from the same generation and were driven by the realist movement: during a joint stay, each composed a series of views of Optevoz. In 1848, Daubigny worked on behalf of the Chalcographie du Louvre, performing facsimiles, which testifies to his great expertise in this art, and revisiting the technique of aquatint in a less cumbersome process. His famous series of Rolling Carts dates from this period. In 1862, with Corot, he experimented with the cliché-verre technique, halfway between photography and printmaking. In 1866, he joined the jury of the Paris Salon for the first time, alongside his friend Corot. The same year, Daubigny visited England. At Daubigny's, the lines between the sketch and the finished work gradually began to blur - he began to have spontaneous plots and an abundance of color spots instead of drawn details. Daubigny's began to pay more attention to the moment and impression - those features that in the future would become the basis of impressionism. In London he met Claude Monet, and together they left for the Netherlands. Back in Auvers, he met Paul Cézanne, another important Impressionist. It is assumed that these younger impressionist painters were influenced by Daubigny.
