"A Laundry Maid" (French: "La Blanchisseuse") is an oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1761. The work is a genre painting, a form that Greuze was particularly noted for, and it depicts a young servant girl engaged in the humble task of laundering clothes. The painting is renowned for its fine detail, the realistic portrayal of the subject, and the emotional resonance that Greuze was able to imbue in his depictions of everyday life.

The painting showcases Greuze's skill in rendering textures and materials, with the maid's clothing and the linens she is working with being depicted in a tactile and convincing manner. The subject's expression is one of concentration and diligence, which, combined with the play of light and shadow, adds a sense of depth to her character. This focus on the moral virtue of labor, and the dignified treatment of a lower-class individual, is reflective of Enlightenment values and the growing interest in the lives of ordinary people during the 18th century.

"A Laundry Maid" is often cited as an example of Greuze's contribution to the development of genre painting in France. His work paved the way for later artists to explore similar themes of everyday life and the emotional states of their subjects. The painting is held in high esteem for its combination of technical proficiency and its compassionate, humanistic approach to its subject matter.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "A Laundry Maid" by Jean-Baptiste Greuze is part of the collection at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
