This black and white linocut depicts three women cleaning. In the foreground is a woman on her hands and knees scrubbing the floor. Wearing a long skirt and a loose shirt with the sleeves rolled up past her elbows, she holds a balled up rag in her right hand. There is a bucket next to her. Behind her are two other women, both bending over buckets and wringing out rags. Both women wear a calf length skirt and a shirt with the sleeves rolled up. There is a staircase in the background. There is a handwritten title below the image in pencil. It is signed by the artist on the bottom right. The back is blank.
