A warm and intimate decorative piece, this hand-stitched needlepoint tapestry captures a serene interior scene of a woman reading by the fireplace. Rich in earthy tones and soft lighting, the composition evokes a sense of calm, nostalgia, and timeless domestic life.
Executed with meticulous craftsmanship, the artwork is entirely handmade using traditional needlepoint techniques, where each stitch contributes to the depth and texture of the scene. The design is based on an original painting by Pieter Janssens, and was carefully interpreted in textile form by Renée Erni between 1975 and 1980, as noted on the back.
Presented in a classic frame, this piece works beautifully as a decorative accent, adding warmth, character, and a subtle vintage narrative to any interior.
