Okay, so this is really domestic work

Another painting at the Stanford Cantor Art Center's exhibit (Saved from the Storm) -- this time by Renoir -- of a seamstress. All the proper Laundry Songs ingredients -- a woman, a bent spine, a window, cloth, sharp objects -- art and light and thank goodness the Impressionist painters loved these domestic chores.
