Answer:
Jean-Baptiste Greuze stripped the traditional theme of the washerwoman
of its association with the virtue of hard work and instead overlaid it with a
titillating sensuality typical of Rococo art. In a room scattered with wet and
drying laundry, a disheveled maidservant with an exposed stocking and
slipper fixes the viewer with a provocative gaze.
It was most likely put in the museum for the image behind the image..you know? Like she looks like a laundress but the way the painting was portrayed she looks more like a scandoulous teaser.
