Sitzende Frau zeichnet ein Stickmuster, Kinder wickeln Garn

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, frühe 1780er-Jahre?

The artwork features a scene within an oval frame, centered on a woman seated at a table, sketching a design for embroidery. She has long hair and is wearing a dress. Around the table, children are winding yarn. The oval frame has an ornate border, and the composition is set against a fabric-like background. Surrounding the central scene are decorative floral and vine patterns interwoven with red ribbons. The use of color is subtle, with the background and floral elements providing a soft contrast to the monochromatic central scene.
