This is Yan’ Dargent’s representation of a famous legend heard during his childhood in Léon.  On All Saints Day, the washerwomen were washing their shrouds on a moonless night.  Misfortune fell upon the miscreant who ventured outside and came across them.  They invited him to wring the linen with them, but they wrung with so much force that they broke his bones.  Yan’ Dargent has a special place in Breton painting, because of his liking for legends and fantasy.
