A woman leans close to a vintage Singer sewing machine, her face mostly hidden beneath a gold-trimmed veil, one hand guiding patterned fabric beneath the needle with practiced ease. Karkhana returns to the same warm gold ground as its companions in the series, giving the ordinary act of sewing the same stillness usually reserved for ceremony. It stands as the third work in this art exhibition's Echoes of Heritage collection, built around the quiet labour of Emirati women.
Painted in oil on canvas against a gold background, the work sets fine detail in the machine and hands against the flat, luminous ground.
The canvas measures 18 x 24 inches, matching the scale carried through the rest of the series.
Signed by the artist and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity, it is a one-of-a-kind piece, and collectors drawn to this kind of facework can inquire about an oil painting commission or a commission for an oil painting portrait of similar character.
Karkhana gives lasting form to work once carried out quietly behind closed doors, treating it as worth the same attention as any formal portrait. It sits within MB Gallery's Echoes of Heritage collection of everyday Emirati tradition.
