    A Neapolitan Flax Spinner

    John William Waterhouse (British, 1849-1917)

    A young woman sits by the window, fingers deftly spinning flax into thread. Sunlight spills across her work, illuminating the golden strands as they twist and coil. Her gaze drifts beyond the frame, lost in thought or memory—the spindle never slowing, the rhythm unbroken.
