Fritzi Brod · c. 1938 · woodcut ·  Accession ID  2008.115.276.4

Four women are depicted, gathered around a central point, engaged in sewing tasks. Each person is seated, focused on the fabric in their hands. On the left side, a woman with short, curly hair and a headband leans toward the center. Next to her, a woman with bobbed hair looks down at her fabric. The third woman faces the viewer, wearing glasses and a patterned garment, absorbed in sewing. The fourth woman has cropped hair and delicately holds her fabric, examining her work. The women wear clothing with distinct patterns. In the background, there is a window with stylized patterns and a "Vogue" poster on the wall.
