About the piece

Created in 1902 by Asai Chū, a pioneer of Western-style painting in Japan, this oil on canvas depicts a woman absorbed in her sewing. The work is characterized by loose, expressive brushwork and a soft, luminous palette that highlights the textures of the subject's striped shawl and long blue skirt, reflecting the artist's engagement with European impressionism.
