The "Washerwomen in a park" is one of the masterpieces of Hubert Robert, on top of his game. Although this painting was painted in France, the memory of the Italian gardens is still alive. Hubert Robert does in fact never departed. The drawings scribbled in the parks of the villas of the Eternal City have been constantly stimulate his imagination in order to achieve the ideal creations blending reality and invention. Named "designer of the gardens of the King" on his return to France he conceives picturesque gardens combining, in the same way as in his pictorial compositions, ruins, statues, fountains and groves. The "Bathers" reflect this dual experience. On the one hand, the painter combines a monumental fountain reminiscent of the Villa Conti in Frascati, and a cascade of stairs, which seems to remember the incredible achievement of Pirro Ligorio for the gardens of the Villa d'Este. On the other hand, it is the landscape design and the experience gained through his official duties, which led him to consider the park as a place to live. It is here a "ruin" which is no longer a case for approval, but a space invested by the common people. Thus, these are not noble walkers who walk this whimsical garden but many laundresses engaged in hard work.

The table may have been submitted to the 1781 Salon, which described "a wash in the middle of a garden", painted by Hubert Robert. It was preserved in the collection of E. Arago. According to Mireur directory, a fleet of Interior (54 x 44 cm) from this collection was sold in 1879 for 2300 francs. February 14, 1879, include the table when selling Alfred Saucède (No. 62, sold 3 000frs). It was perhaps acquired by Dutuit brothers, since the table was in their collection Rouen, in the late nineteenth century. Augustus Dutuit donated to the City of Paris in 1902.
