Look at the work
A day of laundry by the trees
The curved figure occupies the lower center of the landscape. The pieces of linen draw a clear tablecloth at his feet; a basket stands on the left, another on the right, forming a large triangle around the body.
The embankment and the edge close the horizon in superimposed bands. Van Gogh contrasts the deep greens of the trees with the yellows of the meadow and the bluish notes of the clothing, without abandoning Nuenen's earthy range.
Peasant doing laundry F148/JH908 is a 29.5 × 36 cm oil on canvas, painted in Nuenen in August 1885. It is kept at the Hikaru Museum in Takayama, Japan.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The old title of this sheet did not correspond to the subject represented. Work F148/JH908 shows a peasant woman busy washing or arranging laundry in a landscape, a composition now kept at the Hikaru Museum.
01
The figure folds into the landscape
The inclined back resumes the slope of the land. This correspondence connects the woman's work to the rhythm of the strips of meadow and edge.
02
The linen creates the bright focus
The light shapes spread out in the foreground attract the eye before the face. Their irregularity makes laundry activity immediately noticeable.
03
The baskets balance the scene
Placed on either side of the figure, they expand the horizontal composition and give a concrete measure to the workspace.

Identity
F148 and JH908
These numbers designate the outdoor laundry scene and help keep it away from any subject related to a knife or still life.
Landscape
Work placed outdoors
Unlike many peasant scenes in Nuenen, the activity takes place here in a wide open meadow in front of an edge.
Collection
Hikaru Museum, Takayama
The work is kept in Japan and is in the Western Art Gallery presented by the Hikaru Museum.

A small, lively and rural horizontal landscape
Its greens, yellows and muted blues liven up a kitchen, a hallway or a room made of natural materials. The horizontal format works particularly well above a base unit.
