Woman Sewing by the Window

A woman in a dark dress and white cap sits on a wooden chair, sewing white cloth draped over her lap, her head bent in concentration. Beside her a window looks onto a brick house and green lawn, and the room's walls and floor are rendered in soft brown watercolor and chalk.
