The Seamstress (The Working Woman) is a 1905 oil by Helene Schjerfbeck, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Sitting, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, facing left. She's wearing a dark dress and has her hair pulled back. The background is a plain wall. The woman's hands are clasped together in her lap, and she looks like she's concentrating on something. Her face is serious, and her eyes are cast downward. The artist, Helene Schjerfbeck, used oil paint to create this portrait. You might want to look up more of her work next.
