Bordurende vrouw 1833 - 1863

"Bordurende vrouw" (Embroidering Woman) is a lithograph created by Jacob Spoel, a Dutch artist known for his genre scenes. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the quiet intimacy of domestic life in the 19th century. The composition features two women, likely mother and daughter, seated in a sun-drenched doorway, the elder engrossed in her embroidery while the younger watches intently. The depiction of everyday life, infused with a sense of tranquility and the beauty of natural light, is characteristic of Spoel's artistic style and resonates with viewers who appreciate the artistic rendering of daily life.
