Pehr Hilleström - At the Embroidery-Frame - fine art print

Artwork specifications by the museum's website (© - by Nationalmuseum Stockholm - www.nationalmuseum.se)

English: A solitary flame – hidden by the woman’s hand – sheds a suggestive light on the dark interior. Hilleström described this painting as ”Two women inspecting a small picture or copperplate by candle-light”. The women are in fact looking at a piece of embroildery on an embroidery frame. This kind of needlework became popular in the 18th century – engravings were used as patterns for embroidery in black silk and hair on white satin fabric. The walls behind the women are hung with paintings in gilt frames that can be seen faintly in the darkness. En ensam ljuslåga – dold bakom kvinnans hand – skapar ett suggestivt ljus i den mörka interiören. Hilleström beskrev själv målningen som ”Tvänne fruentimmer som vid ljus granska en liten tafla eller kopparstick”. Kvinnorna betraktar i själva verket ett broderi uppspänt på en sybåge. Denna typ av handarbete blev populärt under 1700-talet – en gravyr användes som förlaga för ett broderi med svart silke och hår på ett vitt sidentyg. Bakom kvinnorna är väggarna fyllda av målningar i förgyllda ramar som skymtar fram ur mörkret.
