"The Needlewoman" (c. 1640) is an esteemed oil painting by renowned Spanish Baroque artist, Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez The artwork is appreciated for its intimate character and virtuosic technique, serving as a testament to Velázquez's mastery over the genre of portraiture.

"The Needlewoman" is a three-quarter length portrayal of a young woman deeply engrossed in sewing. The young woman's identity remains unspecified, which is typical of Velázquez's non-royal portraits.

One of Velázquez's distinctive stylistic approaches is evident in this work, where the subject is seen occupying an undefined spatial setting, further emphasizing the figure. The artist's brushwork is highly praised by critics and art scholars alike, for his ability to capture the texture and malleability of different materials on the canvas. In "The Needlewoman", the gleam of the silk thread against the muted tones of the woman's clothing illustrates Velázquez's dexterity in rendering contrasting textures and light effects.

While the painting's ownership history is intermittently recorded, it is currently part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C. Although the exact date of creation is speculated to be around the 1640s, there are varying opinions due to the artwork's lack of a definitive timeline.

Despite the information gaps, "The Needlewoman" is an important piece in understanding the oeuvre of Velázquez as it is demonstrative of his proficiency in portraiture while simultaneously reflecting the intimate, everyday life in 17th-century Spain.

This undated masterpiece continues to be revered in contemporary art discourse, informing ongoing discussions on fading boundaries between portraiture and genre painting in Baroque art. The synthesis of the mundane with the elegance of Velázquez's brushwork confirm the enduring appeal of "The Needlewoman".
