Hanging the Laundry out to Dry. Berthe Morisot, 1875 Berthe Morisot’s "Hanging the Laundry out to Dry" captures a tranquil rural scene with her characteristic Impressionist style. The painting portrays women engaging in the quotidian task of hanging laundry, set against a backdrop of an expansive, serene countryside. Morisot’s loose brushstrokes and soft palette convey a sense of movement and light, emphasizing the breezy, relaxed atmosphere of the scene. The work not only reflects Morisot’s skill in depicting domestic life but also her ability to infuse ordinary moments with a gentle, lyrical beauty, characteristic of her innovative contributions to the Impressionist movement.
