The background and face are a little softer but I had the same reaction as you did the first time I saw it.One More Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785559985798967214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393819564278571223.post-17451967007620164282010-03-24T05:43:39.472-07:002010-03-24T05:43:39.472-07:00It almost looks like a photo, at least on my monit...It almost looks like a photo, at least on my monitor. The coat worn like that reminds me of a 1940s coat of my mother's that has straps sewn under the front so it can be worn with arms slipped through the straps and not fall back off the shoulders.<br /><br />I've been walking and knitting lately too -- following an auction and outdoors. It sure gets people to stare!Martha in Kansasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393819564278571223.post-44814626482961169902010-03-19T18:30:46.113-07:002010-03-19T18:30:46.113-07:00Good points.

I also had idea that the knitting might have been an afterthought and, like you said, the owner kept it afterwards. <br /><br />I wonder if that girl was ever in a field by a river or if she was painted posing in a studio? One could make up a host of back stories!One More Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785559985798967214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393819564278571223.post-84381915301346882542010-03-19T15:27:49.989-07:002010-03-19T15:27:49.989-07:00Oooo, goody, another fascinating knitting painting...Oooo, goody, another fascinating knitting painting! It's so nice to see something other than the really common ones.<br /><br />The knitting is on four needles, but she doesn't seem to have a fifth. I'm thinking the knitting is a prop!<br /><br />This time when I went looking, I found The American Gallery:<br />http://americangallery.wordpress.com/category/pearce-charles-s/<br /><br />Mr. Pearce seems to have re-used clothing a lot: the blue patched skirt looks like it is in "Women in the Fields" and "Sainte-Geneviève", that cloak-thing is in "Return of the Flock" and "A Shepherd Boy", and the sabots look the same in "The Woodcutter’s Daughter" and "A Shepherd Boy".<br /><br />I wonder if he didn't get to re-use the knitting because the knitter took it back!Alwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200150883889857882noreply@blogger.com
