Young Woman Sewing is a 1876 graphite by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a young woman sits with her hands engaged in sewing. She wears a blue dress and has a white cloth draped over her lap, with a red and white bag placed beside her. The woman's hair is pulled back, and she is seated on a wooden chair with a green cushion. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The background of the painting is a muted gray color, which helps to focus attention on the woman and her activity. This painting is characteristic of the Impressionism movement, which emphasized everyday life and activities.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
