A Woman Mending a Stocking is a 1662 unspecified by Jan Steen, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a wooden chair, mending a stocking. She is wearing a dark-colored dress and a white headscarf, and has a small stool under her feet. A man is standing behind her, wearing a hat and a dark-colored coat. He is looking down at the woman with a smile on his face. The background of the painting is a plain wall. The woman's hands are busy with the needle and thread, and the man's presence adds a sense of warmth and companionship to the scene.
