About the Item
This charcoal on paper is an original study for the painting Lavadeiras do Rio Corgo de Vila Real by Portuguese artist Agostinho Mello Junior.
Signed “Mello Junior,” this work captures a traditional washerwoman in the act of scrubbing clothes beside the Corgo River, located in Vila Real, Portugal.
The inscription in the artist's hand reads: “Estudo para o quadro Lavadeiras do Rio Corgo Vila Real” (“Study for the painting Lavadeiras do Rio Corgo Vila Real”), linking this rare piece directly to Mello Junior’s iconic tribute to Portuguese rural life.
The composition highlights the dignity and strength of working women through confident, fluid strokes and well-balanced form.
