The Seamstress, Frank Weston Benson

Interior scenes such as the The Seamstress were complements to Benson's celebrated depictions of women and children out of doors and the artist's primary focus during the winter months spent in Boston. The Seamstress is a superior example of these domestic portraits that Benson was producing during the early 1900s. Here his twenty-three year old daughter, Eleanor, sits elegantly engrossed in her craft in a softly lit corner of his St. Botolph Street studio. She sews next to the window, which serves as the light source for the composition and illuminates her needlework and her flowing white dress, as well as the wall behind her. Beside her is an 18th-century William and Mary turned walnut gate leg table, created in Boston between 1720-1740, with a circular top with drop leaves above a rectangular frieze that continues to baluster and vasiform turned supports with two swing legs ending on turned feet. Upon the table, a violin, potted plant and a pitcher rest, silhouetted by the light which pours in through the window behind them and catches small highlights on each of the objects. Closest to the sitter is her kit with spools of thread in vibrant reds and cobalts.
