Artwork description

This painting portrays an elderly woman engaged in the timeless act of spinning thread. Her posture is upright and dignified, her weathered face marked with quiet endurance. She holds the distaff with practiced ease, as if embodying generations of tradition in a single gesture.

Beside her, a white goat rests calmly, its presence adding a pastoral tenderness to the scene. Above them, a branch heavy with red apples symbolizes both abundance and the cycle of life. The muted, earthy palette contrasts with the vibrant fruit, emphasizing the balance between labor, sustenance, and nature’s gifts.

The overall atmosphere carries both solemnity and serenity. The woman is depicted not merely as an individual but as a symbol of resilience, heritage, and connection to the land. Her work, simple yet profound, weaves together themes of endurance, survival, and the enduring beauty of rural life.
