About the piece
This 1882 oil painting by Albert Neuhuys captures a serene domestic moment, as a woman and child sit 'busy' with their needlework. The dramatic contrast between the shadowy cottage interior and the brilliant green garden visible through the open doorway creates a warm, contemplative atmosphere characteristic of the Hague School.
