You see a woman sitting in a chair, knitting. She's shown from the side, with simple lines and gentle shading. This makes the scene feel calm and quiet. The woman is Mrs. Hassam, the artist's wife. She's doing a everyday activity, which was a common theme in art back then. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: lithography.
