About the piece

Painted in 1871 by Dutch artist Christoffel Bisschop, this watercolor is an exquisite study of light and interior life. The composition centers on a woman in a white cap focused on her sewing, framed by a dark mirror that reflects the unseen window. The warm sunlight highlights the intricate patterns of a draped table rug, creating a cozy and timeless atmosphere typical of the Hague School influence.
