畫家主要以微妙和諧的調色描繪親人的肖像。《縫紉女工》描繪了一個女性形象，她低著頭專注於工作。她在明顯的資產階級背景下進行這種常規的、無意識的活動。這幅絢麗的構圖體現了印象派繪畫的典型特徵——日常主題、看似自發的構圖、快速的筆觸，以及畫布的統一光線，在彩色塗抹中穿進穿出。
Berthe Morisot's works are characterized by intimate portraits of women rendered with delicate brushwork and harmonious use of colour. Femme cousant (literally Woman Sewing) depicts a woman, attentively bowing her head, absorbed in doing domestic chores. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bourgeois family while the woman is represented as a docile figure routinely doing domestic chores. This delightful composition epitomizes the artistic expression of Impressionist painting, for example, with quotidian subjects, unprompted compositions, rapid brushwork, and natural light flowing across the canvas woven with daubs of palettes.
