Portrait of a Weaving Mill Woman

Taylor

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young woman standing in a factory setting. She is positioned facing slightly toward the viewer, with her left arm outstretched near machinery. Her hair is short and styled away from her face. She wears a light-colored blouse with short sleeves and a dark ribbon tied at her neck. The background shows rows of machines with threads and spindles in an industrial building.
