Sheepwashing is an 1817 landscape painting by the British artist David Wilkie.

[1] It depicts a rural scene of shepherds washing sheep near a watermill.

Wilkie was an admirer of Dutch landscapes of the seventeenth century by Jacob van Ruisdael and Meindert Hobbema and the painting is reminiscent of their styles.

The scene shows the village of Fisherton de la Mere on the River Wylye near Salisbury.

[5] Today the painting is in the collection of the Scottish National Gallery, having been acquired in 1911.
