- This oil painting depicts a woman washing clothes on a blue washboard. Shown in profile to the viewer, she wears a yellow dress with a green apron and red hat. She stands in front of a red table with the blue washtub on its surface. The figure holds what appears to be a white piece of cloth against a blue washboard reclining in the tub. Across the table from the woman is a tree and some low bushes. The artist has signed her initials [CH] in the lower right margin, with the "C" written backwards.
