Young Woman Sewing with a Dog Resting on Her Lap

Johann Gottlieb Glume

National Gallery of Art

The drawing shows a seated woman with a full body view. She sits on a chair holding an object in her hands, potentially sewing or knitting. Her posture is slightly slouched, head tilted forward, looking down at her hands. Facial features include a gentle brow, closed lips, and partially visible eyes due to the downward gaze. She wears a bonnet, a long dress, and has a small dog draped on her lap. The background is plain with no distinct features.
