It belongs to the collection, but is not on display at present.
In this drawing, Albert Lebourg depicted his mother, sister, and wife sewing by the dim light of an oil lamp. The three women sit around a table, close to one another but each absorbed in their work. Known for his experimentation with charcoal, Lebourg worked from dark to light, covering his sheet with the dark, powdery material and leaving only highlights visible.
