The title of this painting refers to the tiny figures in the background who are carrying what looks to be hampers of clothing. I imagined that these women were returning from doing laundry...THE HARD WAY. Maybe the idea is to hang the clothes in the warm autumn sun...sounds idyllic, but it's backbreaking work that I'm grateful to avoid. The closest I get to this is when I hang items on a dring rack on my back porch, which is a few steps away and certainly not heavy work. No, I enjoy beinga modern-day woman; thank you.
