"The Darning Lesson" is a painting by Dutch artist Bernard Johann De Hoog (1867–1943), known for his genre works depicting scenes of rural life. De Hoog was part of the Hague School, a group of artists who worked in The Hague between 1860 and 1890, and whose works were characterized by a realistic portrayal of Dutch daily life. His work often focused on the lives of peasants and farmers, capturing the simplicity and hardships of their existence with a sense of empathy and warmth.

"The Darning Lesson" is a quintessential example of De Hoog's oeuvre, showcasing a domestic interior scene where the central activity is the mending of clothes. The painting typically depicts a mother or an elder woman teaching a young girl how to darn socks or other garments. This subject is emblematic of the period's genre paintings, which frequently illustrated the transmission of skills and values from one generation to the next within the household.

De Hoog's treatment of light and texture brings a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the scene. The figures are often bathed in a warm, natural light that highlights the concentration on their faces and the meticulousness of their task. The artist's use of color and his ability to render the textures of the fabrics and the interior surroundings contribute to the painting's serene and contemplative atmosphere.

While "The Darning Lesson" is a specific title that may refer to one or more works by De Hoog, without a clear reference to a particular painting, including its date of creation, current location, or any notable historical significance, it is challenging to provide a more detailed introduction. If such information were available, it would allow for a more comprehensive entry that could include the painting's provenance, critical reception, and its place within De Hoog's body of work and the broader context of Dutch genre painting.
