About the piece
Painted in 1907 by Jozef Hanula, this evocative work depicts a lace maker paused in her intricate craft to read a 'Letter from America.' The painting beautifully captures the detailed textures of her traditional folk costume—the delicate white lace, embroidered red vest, and patterned headscarf—reflecting the poignant social history of early 20th-century migration.
