Camille Pissarro used the French countryside and its inhabitants as the subject of his art throughout his career. He frequently depicted women sewing, often outdoors or seated beside a window, as seen in this drawing. He indicated the effects of natural light illuminating his subject with the notation "lumière" at the left margin of the drawing.
