Girl sitting at needlework
Beautiful statuette of a little girl sewing by Swedish artist Ruth Milles. A picture of concentration.

She lived with her brother Carl Milles (arguably one of Sweden’s most famous artists, whose work can be found at the Tate). Miles was awarded the Special Prize at the Paris Salon in 1902. She died in Rome in 1941. She and her brother had a fascinating life and outlook on the world. Plaster, signed to the base.
