This print captures a moment in time in lower Austria, where a group of peasant women gather for a Rockensitz - or distaff session. In this traditional setting, the old lady takes center stage as she spins yarn while regaling her audience with stories from days gone by. The young women listen intently, absorbing not only the tales being told but also the industrial history and techniques of spinning.
The scene is rich with historical significance, offering a glimpse into the pre-industrial textile industry and showcasing the importance of storytelling in passing down knowledge through generations. The image exudes a sense of community and tradition, as these women come together to engage in an activity that has been practiced for centuries.
