Dutch Village Scene with Hanging Laundry

View through Harvard Museums
Matthias Eberle's text on the picture in the catalogue raisonne argues that we are looking at a scene in a fishing village (cf. the fish drying on the line), and so probably Katwijk or Zaandvoort. This is washing and cleaning day, as indicated not only by the woman bent over the wash, but also by the open windows and doors.
