Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork measures 39x29.5 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Millet's painting depicts a female peasant immersed in her knitting work while seated amidst a serene rural landscape.

Through his meticulous brushstrokes and masterful use of light and shadow, Millet brings this scene to life. The soft hues of nature surrounding the knitter create an atmosphere of peace and serenity. This print allows us to appreciate Millet's exceptional ability to capture ordinary moments with extraordinary beauty. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks can hold profound meaning when observed through an artist's lens.
