A lovely miniature painting of a basket weaver creating a new basket out of cane.
The man is engrossed in his work and we see him from afar. 
The painting is done in oil on canvas in professional, swooping strokes of a master. The style is reminiscent of Impressionism. The painting is signed and sold together with the frame. This painting is a part of a set of two paintings, the other being the one of an old woman knitting (she is likely the basket weaver's wife).
