The print titled "The Skein-Winder," after a painting by P.P. Hamon and engraved by J.G. Thevenin in 1868, is a detailed steel engraving depicting two elegantly dressed women engaged in the quiet and intimate task of winding a skein of yarn. The composition exudes a sense of harmony and domestic serenity, with one woman seated and holding the yarn while the other kneels on cushions, stretching the skein between her hands as it is being wound. The women s expressions are calm, their elegant poses suggesting a moment of peaceful companionship. The detailed rendering of their flowing garments, soft textures of the cushions, and the refined interior space reflect the high level of craftsmanship in both Hamon's artistic vision and Thevenin s skillful engraving. The original artist, Jean-Paul-Pascal Hamon (commonly known as P.P. Hamon), was a 19th-century French painter celebrated for his genre scenes, particularly those that capture domestic, sentimental, and tranquil moments from everyday life. The engraver, J.G. Thevenin, meticulously translated Hamon's painting into this detailed steel engraving, maintaining the soft and intimate tone of the original work. The print, as stated, originates from a picture held in the possession of the publishers, likely contributing to its accessibility to art collectors and enthusiasts during the Victorian period. The intricate detailing and gentle subject matter make "The Skein-Winder" a timeless representation of domestic artistry and companionship.Approx Image Size: vignette - Approx Overall Size With Borders : 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING.
