Painting of a yellow wooden drawbridge over a canal, with women washing clothes at the bank and a horse and cart on the bridge.

The Langlois Bridge at Arles with Women Washing

A yellow drawbridge spans a canal lined with stone walls and green banks, with a horse and cart crossing above. Three women kneel at the water's edge beside a wooden boat, washing laundry. Thick, rhythmic brushwork in blue, yellow and orange gives the scene a vibrant, sunlit energy.
