The Embroiderers 1895

Henri Fantin-Latour's 1895 etching, "The Embroiderers", depicts two women seated at a table, lost in their needlework. The dim interior space, illuminated by a window, creates a sense of quiet intimacy. The artist's characteristically precise lines and subtle tonal contrasts capture the women's focused concentration and the stillness of the scene. The artwork, typical of Fantin-Latour's realist style, is a beautiful and evocative depiction of everyday life.
