A standing woman approaches two seated women stringing beads over a shallow wooden bowl in the center right of this painting, which is set in a large, mostly empty room. An open doorway and windows at the back of the room provide limited light. At right, a bench is positioned against a wall. The two seated women wear dark dresses while their standing companion wears a white dress mostly covered with a dark shawl. — John Singer Sargent

Venetian Bead Stringers , 1880 or 1882
