Painted by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases their remarkable skills and dedication to their craft.

Seated gracefully with needles in hand, these talented women delicately stitch intricate patterns onto fabric. Their focused expressions reveal their deep concentration and passion for needlework.

The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical beauty but also the quiet strength and resilience embodied by these women. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a cherished pastime that has been passed down through generations.
