"Sewing by Lamplight" is a black and white etching created by Jean-François Millet in 1868-1878. The piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a woman sewing by the light of a single lamp, highlighting the simple life of rural workers. The intimate portrayal of a solitary figure under soft illumination, characteristic of Millet's work, evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the hardships of daily life.
