Mia madre che lavora [My Mother Working]

Umberto Boccioni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman in profile, positioned in a chair facing to the right side. Her entire body is depicted, wrapped in a long gown or housecoat. Her hair is styled in an updo, neatly arranged, and her facial features are softly drawn, though specific details are subtle. The woman is engaged in knitting, with yarn threading through her hands, which she holds just above her lap. The room contains several elements: curtains at the window to the left, a small table cluttered with knitting supplies, and floral patterns on the glass doors behind her. The floor features a tiled pattern. The setting appears to be indoors, with the woman seated in a tranquil environment.
