The artwork titled “Portrait of Grandmother Ana Sewing” was created by the artist Salvador Dali in 1921. It is an oil on canvas painting measuring 53 x 41 cm. This work finds its roots in the Post-Impressionism movement and is categorized as a portrait. The painting is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork captures a serene and intimate moment, featuring Dali’s grandmother, Ana, engaged in the act of sewing. The setting appears to be a modestly furnished room. Ana is depicted in silhouette against a softly lit interior, which is dominated by cool blue tones, giving the painting a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere. The focus of the painting shifts between the foreground, where the figure is enveloped in shadow, to the vibrant landscape visible through the window. This landscape injects color and life into the composition and contrasts with the darkened interior. The artwork exhibits the characteristic attention to detail and perceptible brushstrokes that often accompany Post-Impressionist works, providing both a tactile and emotional depth to the scene.
