About the Item

This delightful scene depicts a woman perched on a rock looking intently at her knitting. In the background waves crash against the sandy shoreline. The artist pays particular attention to the fine folds in the woman's clothes that carefully fall to her side. Beautifully presented in a pieced gilt frame with floral ornamentation. Part of a pair of 19th century genre scenes by the same artist. On paper.
