"Study for the Crochet Worker Miss Mary Ann Purdon" is a preparatory work by the renowned 19th-century English painter William Etty, known for his emphasis on the nude in historical and mythological paintings. This study, however, diverges from his typical subject matter, focusing instead on a contemporary scene featuring Miss Mary Ann Purdon, a young woman engaged in the domestic craft of crochet.

The artwork serves as a testament to Etty's versatility and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with sensitivity and attention to detail. While the exact date of creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the height of Etty's career, a period marked by his exploration of both the human form and the everyday life of individuals.

As a study, the piece likely functioned as a preparatory sketch or a compositional experiment for a larger, more finished painting. It showcases Etty's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as well as his interest in capturing the quiet concentration of his sitter. The artwork reflects the Victorian era's fascination with virtue and industriousness, embodied in the figure of Miss Purdon, whose focused engagement with her craft contrasts with the more sensual and dramatic themes for which Etty is best known.

The provenance of "Study for the Crochet Worker Miss Mary Ann Purdon" and its current whereabouts are not widely recorded, and it remains a lesser-known work within Etty's oeuvre.
