Worn Out

About this work

This painting shows an older woman sitting by a window, mending clothes. She wears a faded blue shawl and a white cap. Behind her, a bed with a striped blanket sits in a dim room, and a cat curls up on the windowsill. The brushstrokes are loose and soft, giving the scene a quiet, lived-in feel. The colors are muted, focusing on everyday life rather than bright details. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
