Went to he RA yesterday for the H. Schjerfbeck ( what a spelling) show. She was a Finnish painter 1862-1946 who managed to achieve recognition in her time -despite being a woman. I'm posting some of her paintings that depict family and/or sewing.
From left to right: 'My Mother' 1909, 'At Home (Mother Sewing)' 1903, 'The Seamstress (The Working Woman)' 1905 and detail, 'My Mother' 1902
