The artwork titled “Leopoldine Steindl-Moser, eine Schwester des Künstlers, nähend,” created by Koloman Moser circa 1895, belongs to the Realism art movement. It is a portrait with dimensions of 46 x 32 cm.
The artwork depicts a young woman, the sister of the artist, engrossed in the act of sewing. She is depicted with her head slightly bowed and focused on her task, exuding an air of quiet concentration and introspection. Her figure is bathed in soft lighting, emphasizing the contours of her face and the vibrant orange of her blouse. To the left, a small vase of flowers adds a touch of natural beauty to the composition. The background, rendered in darker shades, serves to highlight the subject and her meticulous activity. The overall mood of the artwork is tranquil and reflective, capturing a moment of simple, yet profound domesticity.
