About this work

Lockwood Kipling drew two men bent over embroidery frames in 1870. It’s a simple scene—just craftsmen at work. The drawing fits between Impressionism and Realism, two styles that focused on everyday life. Kipling knew India well. He moved there in 1865 to teach art and later helped shape the Victoria and Albert Museum’s design. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
