The Embroidery Shop is a 1665 oil by Bernhard Keil, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a group of women and children in a room, possibly a shop. They're all dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with the women wearing long dresses and headscarves. The children are playing with balls and baskets. In the foreground, a woman in a pink dress is sitting with a green box on her lap. She's surrounded by other women and children, all engaged in different activities. The room is dimly lit, with only a few sources of light illuminating the scene. The painting has a warm, golden tone, with lots of earthy colors like brown and beige. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look.
