About the piece
Painted in 1655 by Johannes van der Aeck, this work depicts an elderly woman concentrated on her needlework. The scene is rich with textures characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age, from the curled lemon peel on the side table to the heavy folds of her blue skirt and the woven laundry basket at her feet.
