Woman Reeling Yarn 1884

"Woman Reeling Yarn" is a charcoal drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1884, now housed at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands. The drawing depicts a woman seated in a room, working with a spinning wheel to the left and a large spool of yarn to the right. The scene is rendered with characteristic Van Gogh expressiveness, featuring strong, gestural lines and a sense of immediacy. The subject matter, common in Dutch art, reflects Van Gogh's interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people.
