Woman at Spinningwheel

In this painting, a woman is depicted seated on a wooden stool, engaged in the traditional craft of spinning yarn using a spinning wheel, which is placed in front of her against a softly textured, muted wall background. She is dressed in dark, modest clothing with a long dress that covers much of her form, reflecting a historical or rural setting. Her left hand gently holds a bundle of raw wool, while her right hand carefully operates the wheel, suggesting a calm and focused demeanor.
