Needlewomen In Art

Paintings by Vermeer, Chardin, Velasquez, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Munch, Anna Ancher, Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot...
Hello! What a nice hobby to be in fashion!
Are today still needlewomen or men out there?
This collection of beautiful paintings celebrates the women engaged in needlework, an activity that has always united women from all countries and in all stations of life, whether taken up for practical or artistic purposes. Artists sought to capture the needle-worker's quiet concentration and domestic milieu, to convey the social and cultural connotations of this largely female domain. Many of the loveliest of these paintings are depicted. My favourite is Childe Hassam @ 3.47, sitting outdoors in the garden, teatime ..., or @ 1.09 the two sisters, or @ 3.07 she's knitting while walking!! what is yours?
