Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 1912 lithograph, 'Return from the Wash House (Retour de lavoir)', depicts working-class women carrying heavy laundry, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century Parisian life with understated elegance.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 'Return from the Wash House (Retour de lavoir)' offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of working-class women in early 20th-century Paris. Created in 1912, this lithograph captures the arduous task of carrying heavy loads of laundry, a common chore for women of the era. Steinlen, known for his social realism and depictions of Parisian life, portrays the women with a sense of dignity and resilience. The muted colour palette and expressive lines convey the weight of their burden, both physically and metaphorically. As a fine art print, this work brings a touch of historical narrative and understated elegance to any space. Its subtle tones and intimate portrayal make it a compelling addition to a living room, study, or hallway, inviting viewers to reflect on the everyday lives of those who came before us. The print's timeless quality ensures it will remain a captivating piece for years to come, sparking conversation and adding depth to your home decor.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
