Knitting c. 1881 - 1967

"Knitting" is a bronze relief sculpture by Thomas Eakins, created between 1881 and 1967. The artwork depicts a seated woman, likely the artist's wife, engaged in knitting. The composition is intimate and focused, with a sense of realism typical of Eakins' work. The piece is executed in a low relief style, creating a subtle sense of depth. The sculpture also features a dog and a partially obscured figure in the background, adding layers of detail to the scene.
