Description and history
The statue depicts a woman washing clothes on a rock, next to a water mill.[2] The subject of laundresses, also known as washerwomen, used to be a popular one in art.[3] Malorie Mackey of Viva Glam Magazine said the sculpture demonstrates how Demetro "showcases the dying traditions of Puerto Vallarta".[4]
Demetro had a smaller version of the sculpture in his possession, as of 2009.[5]
