Ragazza che fa la calza is a 1894 oil by Giovanni Segantini, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
In this painting, a woman sits on the grass, knitting. She is dressed in dark clothing and has brown hair tied back. A few sheep are nearby, one of which is leaning against her. The scene is set in a rural area, with a white fence and a village in the background. The woman's focus on her knitting suggests a quiet, everyday moment. The sheep's gentle presence adds to the peaceful atmosphere. The artist's use of light and color creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene.
