| Remarks |
In the Spanish newspaper El Popular of October 30, 1893 there is a small approving review of an exhibition of Henri Goovaerts held in (probably) Granada at that time. It is written that Goovaerts has painted some copper pots so amazingly well that they look ‘as least as real’ as the original pots. It is not certain whether the review relates to this panel, but in the catalogue of the exhibition of works from his study trip through Southern Europe (Maastricht 1894) we see that Goovaerts painted washing women several times during his trip. Currently this is the only work known in which Goovaerts has painted a number of copper pots.
In 2016 the panel was restored. |
