Las lavanderas
circa 1880
This lively sketch captures a group of figures in a boat, rendered with loose, energetic strokes that feel almost like a snapshot of a summer day on the river. You can clearly see the pencil underdrawing beneath the translucent watercolor washes, giving the scene a sense of movement and immediacy. It reflects Cézanne's fascination with capturing light and form in nature, moving away from strict realism toward the structural experiments that would define Post-Impressionism and pave the way for modern art.
