About this work

An elderly woman in a white headcloth and dark dress dozes in a dim interior, her head resting on her hand beside an open book and a magnifying glass. On the right, a red-draped table holds a book, a cushion with wooden bobbins, and an open ledger, while a candlestick and a stoneware jug sit on a shelf behind her. Nicolaes Maes painted this work in 1656.
