Deux ouvrières dans l'atelier de couture [Two Seamstresses in the Workroom] is a 1897 unspecified by Édouard Vuillard, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Breastfeeding, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows two women in a workroom. They are both wearing long-sleeved dresses and aprons, and are seated at a table with fabric and sewing tools. The woman on the left is holding a baby and appears to be breastfeeding. The woman on the right is sewing. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow coming from a window on the left side of the painting. The walls and furniture are depicted in muted colors, while the women's clothing and the fabric they are working with are more vibrant. The painting has a quiet, intimate feel to it, capturing a moment of everyday life. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in a painting, look up chiaroscuro.
Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French: ; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker.
