Landscape with a Woman Spinning

Herman van Swanevelt

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a woman spinning. The scene features a rocky hillside with a woman sitting on the left, holding a spindle and looking down; she wears a long dress. The hillside has several animals, including goats and sheep. To the right, there is a waterfall cascading down the rocks. In the background, a stone wall runs horizontally across the image, with trees and a building on top of it; another structure is on the right side of the wall. The sky above is cloudy. The entire scene is rendered in black and white. The title "Landscape with a Woman Spinning" and the artist's name are written at the bottom.
