About this work

A seated woman with curled hair and a ruffled dress winds yarn from a skein held on a wooden winder beside her. The loose pen-and-ink lines and hatching suggest a quick sketch of a domestic scene, and the inscription below the frame reads June 2, 1775, by J. Boydell. The work is catalogued as a 1775 print by Giuseppe Canale in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
