A Knitter
The image shows a teenage girl of the 19th century in a Mediterranean village, standing at the corner of a grey building; next to her, a stone staircase runs up to a white church in the distance.  She's knitting a white stocking on fine double-pointed needles and looking directly at the viewer.  She has dark brown hair and eyes.  She's wearing a loose white blouse under a patterned orange surplice top, and also a full, very dark red skirt.

I'm very fond of Wikipedia and glad to help out. But please be kindly and understanding; I need to finish what I've started.

I thought once how Theocritus had sung of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years, who each one in a gracious hand appears to bear a gift for mortals, old or young. And as I mused it in his antique tongue, I saw, in gradual vision through my tears, the sweet, sad years, the melancholy years, those of my own life, who by turns had flung a shadow across me.
