Gertrude Terry, sewing by lamplight is a 1923 watercolor by Louie Burrell, depicting Reading, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman sits in a dim room, bent over a sewing project by the glow of a lamp. Her red dress stands out against the muted tones around her. The walls are dark, and the light makes the edges of her face and hands soft. The lamp casts a warm yellow light, highlighting the fabric she holds. The background is blurry, keeping focus on her and the task at hand. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Louisa Harriet "Louie" Burrell was an English-born artist who also lived in Canada and the United States.
