A woman weaver

About this work

This painting shows a woman standing outdoors in a field. She’s wearing a red headscarf, a striped skirt, and bracelets. In her hands, she holds a tool with strings hanging from it, standing in front of rows of thin sticks stuck in the ground. The title says she’s arranging threads for weaving, which explains the sticks and strings. The colors are simple—red, gray, and earthy tones—with a light background.
