Spinnende vrouwen 1740 - 1780

Guillaume Saint's "Spinnende vrouwen" (Spinning Women), a sepia drawing from the mid-18th century, depicts two women spinning yarn in a garden setting. The women are positioned under a large tree, with buildings visible in the distance, creating a sense of daily life in a rural setting. The detailed depiction of the spinning wheels and other domestic objects highlights the artist's attention to detail and his interest in everyday scenes, making this a quintessential example of genre painting from the period.
