Basket maker is a 1826 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Basketry, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A person sits on the ground weaving a basket. They’re dressed in a blue outfit and wear simple jewelry. Around them are half-finished baskets, sticks, and a small clay pot. A large woven basket sits nearby, and scattered straw covers the floor. The title says *Basket Maker*, and the artist focused on daily life. The scene looks calm, with soft colors and careful details. Look up basketry next to see how these skills work in real life.
A basket-maker is depicted in one of 35 drawings illustrating various trades and occupations, created in 1826 by an unknown artist.
