"Penelope at her Loom" is a notable work by Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman, created in the late 18th century. The painting is a representation of Penelope, a character from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," who is often depicted in classical literature and art as the epitome of the faithful wife. In the narrative, Penelope faithfully awaits the return of her husband, Odysseus, from the Trojan War, warding off numerous suitors by promising to choose one when she finishes weaving a shroud for her father-in-law, Laertes. Each night, she secretly unravels part of her day's work to delay the completion of the shroud and the subsequent choice of a new husband.

Kauffmann's portrayal of Penelope is imbued with the neoclassical virtues of fidelity, patience, and domestic virtue. The painting captures the moment of Penelope at her loom, engrossed in her weaving, which serves as both a symbol of her devotion and a clever ruse to maintain her loyalty to Odysseus. Kauffmann's work reflects the neoclassical style through its emphasis on simplicity, clarity, and the depiction of noble subjects drawn from classical antiquity.

Angelica Kauffmann was one of the most prominent female artists of her time and a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Her works often featured strong and virtuous women from history and mythology, and "Penelope at her Loom" is a prime example of her focus on themes of female virtue and strength of character. The painting is celebrated for its delicate rendering, the emotional depth of its subject, and its contribution to the portrayal of women in art during the neoclassical period.
