Dutch Women's Sewing Circle
A warm and intimate scene of women gathered together over their needlework, this one-of-a-kind piece begins with a vintage poster depicting a Dutch sewing circle — women bent over lace-making and embroidery, sharing the quiet companionship of craft. Jan Talley has transformed it by hand-painting directly onto the original poster and layering it with torn tissue paper in vivid jewel tones of pink, teal, green, and red, creating a richly textured border that feels alive with color and energy.
Text woven into the composition — "White's Shakespeare," "Lace Making," "Embroidery" — grounds the piece in the traditions of women's artistry across centuries. Presented in a bold black chevron frame, it makes a striking statement in any room.
