From the website: “The girl, aged around 9 or 10, is dressed in a brown skirt and apron, and a kind of grey smock with rolled-up sleeves. Around her neck, she wears a whitish neckerchief. The child, with pale skin and reddish hair, has a half-plaited braid that falls down her back. Her gaze is fixed on what she is doing, and her stance has an air of resignation and weariness. The rest of the painting, from the central part to the far right, has a clear protagonist: the loom. It is probably the ‘back strap’ type, a technical apparatus based on straps and wooden bars, which was a mechanised version of the traditional hand loom. At the bottom of the plate, next to the girl’s skirt, you will notice, embossed, the mechanism’s two large cogwheels that make the loom function. And lastly, an important detail. In the background of the scene, in semi-darkness, we can make out the figure of a man –probably a foreman– who seems to be in front of another machine. However, his gaze is clearly directed towards the girl, in a watchful attitude. This part of the work is not represented tactilely. Despite the formal beauty of the painting from an artistic point of view, its subject matter shocks us with the reality it depicts: a testimony to the conditions of child exploitation that contributed to the thriving textile industrialisation of the 19th century.”

A small sketchbook with a yellow fountain pen (Platinum Plaisir) next to it. On the open sketchbook page is a little comic. Image 1: a dragon holds a piece of paper with a drawing, some paint tubes and brushes. Text: A dragon's hoard is a very personal thing. Image 2: The dragon gives a pencil to a human. As the human is so tiny, the pencil is huge in the humans hands. There is some landscape around and the dragon is smiling. Text: But sharing it feels awesome. Image 3: Three dragons, all a bit different sit next to each other, the first (Heribert) holds a piece of paper and brushes, the second knits something, maybe a scarf. The third dragon has glasses and holds a book and a fountain pen. Text: Heribert's friends have awesome hoards too! And I know they love to share too. Three hearts are drawn underneath the text.
