I suspect a great many of us crafting enthusiasts are on the hunt for drawings, paintings and pop culture references to those artistic endeavors we enjoy. In a 1905 book on Normandy, the artist include this wonderful knitting landscape. In the foreground we have a middle-aged lady working on her knitting. In the background, we have the waters of the English channel and the village of Normandy.
The entire scene looks like something out of a European fairy tale.
The work was by Nico Jungman (1872-1935). Jungman was born in Amsterdam but immigrated to England and became a British citizen. He learned his craft while still living in Holland and often returned to his homeland to paint.
