"Kniekous, donkerbruin, grof rondgebreid, grotendeels vervilt" is a wool stocking dating from the mid-18th century. The anonymous artist created a rough, hand-knitted stocking that is now heavily felted. The worn and patched fabric speaks to the harsh conditions and material realities of daily life in the 18th century. The piece serves as a fascinating glimpse into the history of clothing and craftsmanship.
