A Clothes Mender is a 1790 paint by Puqua, a company_painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man sits on a low stool, holding a red cloth in his hands. He wears a green robe and a black hat with a curled brim. His face is lined, and he looks focused as he works. Next to him on the stool is a small wooden box and a folded blue cloth. This painting shows everyday life, not grand scenes. The colors are soft, and the lines are simple but precise.
