EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Maurice Greiffenhagen, titled "Sewing" captures the essence of a skilled seamstress engrossed in her craft. Measuring 73.03x60.96 cm, this masterpiece is part of a private collection and showcases the artist's heavily symbolist romantic style. Greiffenhagen was known for his ability to create enchanting and dreamlike images, with one of his works even inspiring D. H. Lawrence's novel The White Peacock. This particular painting was originally created as part of a forgotten decorative scheme around 1900. In this half-length portrait, we see a woman delicately stitching with utmost concentration and precision. Her profile reveals an air of tranquility as she expertly maneuvers the needle through fabric, showcasing her exceptional sewing skills. The stylized nature of the painting adds to its allure, emphasizing both the beauty and importance of this trade profession. Every detail - from the thread being used to mend garments to the darning technique employed - highlights not only the woman's talent but also her dedication to her craft. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this artwork in their print available at eThe Ms Gallery in London. As you admire this piece, let it transport you back in time when such skills were highly valued and celebrated for their artistry and practicality alike.
