The artwork titled “Girl Sitting, Knitting” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1882 in The Hague, Netherlands. This genre painting, executed with pencil on paper, belongs to the Realism art movement.
In the artwork, a young girl is depicted seated on a simple wooden chair, deeply absorbed in her knitting. Her attire appears modest, with a dress that extends down to her ankles. She is positioned slightly to the side, her head bent forward in concentration. A small footstool placed in front of her supports her feet. The drawing captures a quiet, contemplative moment, emphasizing the simplicity and tranquility of everyday tasks. Van Gogh’s careful pencil work highlights the textures and fine details of the scene, from the folds in the girl’s dress to the strands of her knitting.
