Langlois Bridge at Arles with Women Washing, The

A yellow drawbridge spans a canal lined with stone walls and green banks, with a horse and cart crossing above. Three women kneel at the water's edge beside a wooden boat, washing laundry. Thick, rhythmic brushwork in blue, yellow and orange gives the scene a vibrant, sunlit energy.

Español: El puente de Langlois en Arles con lavanderas

Un puente levadizo amarillo cruza un canal bordeado de muros de piedra y orillas verdes, con una carreta tirada por un caballo sobre el tablero. Tres mujeres se arrodillan junto a una barca de madera lavando ropa a la orilla del agua. Las pinceladas gruesas y rítmicas en azul, amarillo y naranja dan a la escena una energía luminosa.
