Biography
The painting depicts Louise Seidler, a painter studying in Dresden who made her living by making lace. Seidler was a protégée of Johann Wolfgang Goethe. The young woman busy with her hand knitting is shown in a cozy and secluded bourgeois interior, furnished with Biedermeier furniture. On the wall hangs a copy of Raphael's Madonna della Sedia, a favorite painter of the German Romantics. Below is an image of a man in a black beret, possibly a self-portrait by Georg Friedrich Kersting.

Kersting specialized in depictions of intimate interiors with simple compositions, evoking the spirit of 17th-century Dutch painting. They captivate with a romantic mood, the beauty of everyday life.

In 1815-1818 Georg Friedrich Kersting worked as a teacher at the courts of Alexander and Anna Sapieha in Radzyń Podlaski and Teofilpol in Volhynia.
