The Iceberg – The Seamstress 

"The Iceberg – The Seamstress" is a pen and ink drawing by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement. The drawing depicts a young woman kneeling on the floor, sewing. In the background, a baby lies in a cradle, rocking gently. This domestic scene embodies a Victorian sensibility, showcasing the quiet solitude of a seamstress's life. Millais's meticulous detail and expressive line work capture the intimacy and quiet contemplation of the subject. The drawing is a powerful example of Millais's mastery of draftsmanship and his keen observation of the human condition.
