About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Carl Ludwig Jessen, this intimate oil painting depicts an elderly woman meticulously working at her spinning wheel. The composition is rich with domestic detail, featuring a patterned wall, a heavy iron stove, and a cat curled up under a chair, all characteristic of the artist's focus on the traditional life of the North Frisian islands.
