Description: | Women are washing clothes on the steps of the canal in this scene in Quimper, France. Children playing on the steps and a dog nearby add to the attractiveness of the view. Quimper Cathedral is in the background. The picture may be the watercolour of 'Washing place, near Quimper, Brittany' that Myles Birket Foster exhibited at the Society of Painters in Watercolours Gallery in London in 1889. Foster travelled widely in France and elsewhere in Europe. His brightly coloured views were extremely popular with collectors. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists watercolours art buildings | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
