    She is lovely and she looks young, so I guess her eyes can take it. Very pleasant painting but I hurt for her..not sure why…However, appears to be a repair maybe, instead of an original project. The colors are soothing IMHO. Anybody discern the part to the left? bed/pillows? Can’t tell what that is exactly.

      To me it looks like a baby or child — the red being it’s cheek; the red makes me think perhaps the child is ill and she is sitting up watching, filling her time with mending

    What a sweet Mother sitting in a dim room so her child could sleep peacefully.
    She’s still young with good eyes. Just lovely.

    The thing next to the seamstress looks to be a baby in one of those cradles with a side handle for rocking it. What a picture of peace and love.
