Abstract

A female figure in a domestic-industry context, making yarn and cloth.

Description

Drawing. The woman is seated in the centre on what seems to be a slightly raised platform. She has long dark hair, and is wearing a billowing full length dress. She is spinning wool from a bobbin, whose spindle is apparently attached to the floor. Behind her, a wall is indicated, constructed of timber uprights and horizontal timber wallboards, and above it the impression of a ceiling. Cloth hangs from the wall tops, both to her left (vaguely indicated) and to her right, this cloth showing some crisscross patterning. A wicker tub with cloth billowing out stands to the right of the seated figure. The floor is lightly sketched, showing either wooden boards or possibly a cloth covering. To the left of the seated figure the room contains a jumble of indistinctly indicated objects, including possibly an unfastened roll of cloth in the left centre, and in the left background a wicker basket leaning to the right.
