Antique Swiss Oil on Board

This is a vintage oil painting depicting a tender moment between a woman and a child engaged in reading and knitting. The composition is intimate, with the woman leaning in attentively, seemingly guiding the child as they work with yarn. The warm color palette, deep shadows, and soft brushstrokes create a nostalgic, contemplative atmosphere. A book and another piece of literature rest on the table, reinforcing themes of learning, patience, and quiet concentration. The dark background contrasts with the subjects, drawing attention to their expressions and hands, which are the focal points of the piece.

The art itself likely dates to the 1880s however the frame appears to be more recent. The artwork show crackling perhaps some slight loss of paint as consistent with age related wear and even a bend line in upper right hand corner.
