About the piece

Created in 1879 by Venetian artist Giacomo Favretto, this oil painting depicts a seated woman absorbed in her needlework. The work's moody atmosphere and rich palette of deep blues and earthy browns are brought to life through loose, expressive brushwork, offering a glimpse into a humble yet dignified domestic moment typical of Italian genre painting.
