A 19th-century shaped octagonal papier-mâché plaque featuring a hand-painted? genre scene in the Victorian historical revival style. The portrait-oriented composition depicts two women in 17th-century style costume within a domestic interior. One woman is seated and appears to be winding red yarn from a table-mounted wooden swift, while a second woman in a dark gown leans towards her. The background includes a dark-toned interior with a wooden cupboard and floral patterned drapery. The painting is executed on a dark ground with a wide, gilded border. A metal ring hanger is attached to the upper edge for display.
