Bobbin Winder

Vincent van Gogh March 1885 - April 1885

Van Gogh Museum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

A bobbin winder was used to wind the spun yarn onto a reel or bobbin. This dark study was one of a series of illustrations of weavers and yarn -spinners in their working surroundings that Vincent van Gogh made in the winter of 1883-1884. Van Gogh has rendered the fall of light with a few effective touches of light grey.
