Knitting c. 1882 - 1886

"Knitting" is a low-relief sculpture by American artist Thomas Eakins, created in the late 19th century. The artwork depicts a woman seated in a chair, her hands working diligently on a piece of knitting. Eakins's signature realism is evident in the detailed rendering of the woman's form and the subtle texture of her clothing. This piece is a testament to Eakins's commitment to capturing the everyday moments of life and the inherent beauty of ordinary people. "Knitting" is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago and measures 47 x 38.2 cm (18.5 x 15 in).
