Created in 1865, this work exemplifies Anker's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the quiet, everyday moments that define human experience. The painting portrays a young girl diligently engaged in a writing lesson, guided by an older woman, presumably her teacher or mother. The setting is a modest, well-lit interior, characterized by its simplicity and warmth, which reflects the artist's deep appreciation for the humble, yet profound, aspects of daily life.

His works frequently highlight themes of education, family, and the passage of knowledge from one generation to the next, as seen in "The Writing Lesson." The painting is celebrated for its realistic portrayal and the emotional depth conveyed through the expressions and body language of the subjects. Anker's use of light and shadow, along with his careful rendering of textures and details, creates a lifelike and intimate scene that resonates with viewers.

"The Writing Lesson" is part of Anker's broader oeuvre that includes numerous genre paintings, portraits, and still lifes. His works are held in high esteem and are featured in various museums and collections, both in Switzerland and internationally.
