This is a portrait of a young lady wearing a floral blouse with white sleeves, with a light blue skirt and a blue decorative shawl around her shoulders; sitting down against a plaster wall, with needle and thread in hand.
She is threading the needle that she is about to use for the sewing of a white garment that lays on her lap.

Eugene de Blaas was born at Albano, Erromatik gertu, Tirol aita eta ama italiarrari. Bere aita Karl, margolaria ere bai, bere irakaslea zen. Bere ama, Agnesina Auda, emakume erromatar aberatsa zen. Familia Veneziara joan zen bizitzera Karl Veneziako Akademiako irakasle izan zenean. Eszenak askotan margotu zituen Venezian, baina baita erretratuak eta koadro erlijiosoak ere.
Among his works are La forma nuziale in sacrestia; La tombola in Campielo a Venezia; Una scena di burattini in un educanciatu; and La Ninetta. The art critic Luigi Chirtani, when the painting was displayed at the Mostra Nazionale di Venezia, described it as Beautiful, flattering, pretty, caressed, cleaned, polished, laundress in a painting by Mr. Blaas, the favorite portraitist of great Venetian aristocrats, dressed in gala satins, shining jewelry, hairstyles of the rich.
His colorful and rather theatrical period images of Venetian society, e.g. On the Balcony (1877; Private Collection), were quite different compared to delicate pastels and etchings of the courtyards, balcony and canals of modern Venice.
Eugene de Blaas’ paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, Fine Art Society, New Gallery and Arthur Tooth and Sons Gallery in London, eta Liverpooleko Walker Art Gallery-n ere bai
