A Girl Knitting is a 1724 oil by Philippe Mercier, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a young woman sitting in a chair, knitting. She's wearing a dark dress with a white apron and a lace cap on her head. The background is dark, which makes her stand out. The woman's face is calm, and she's looking down at her work. Her hands are moving slowly as she knits. The painting is very detailed, especially in the way the light falls on the woman's face and clothes. You might want to look up the artist, Philippe Mercier, to see more of his work.
