In this painting, two women sit close together, carefully threading beads onto fabric, their gestures quiet and attentive.

Surrounded by cushions, sewing tools, and ornate furnishings, the scene evokes a private interior where skill and patience were nurtured.

Such moments reflect a time when embroidery was not only decorative, but also a shared practice through which cultural knowledge, aesthetics, and values were passed from one generation to the next.
