Sketch for 'straw Weavers at Settignano' 

This sketch, created by Italian artist Telemaco Signorini, is a preliminary study for a larger painting titled "Straw Weavers at Settignano". It depicts a young woman, possibly a straw weaver, seated and working at a table. The composition is simple and focused on the figure, capturing the essence of her working posture. Signorini was known for his realistic depictions of everyday life, often featuring rural scenes and working-class figures. The loose, gestural strokes and the use of warm colors contribute to the sketch's informal and intimate feel. The artist's signature is visible in the upper left corner of the sketch.
