      This painting shows a vibrant young woman who has put aside her work to play knucklebones, a game in which one uses sheep bones. She’s just tossed a ball in the air and it hangs suspended above her hand. She’s caught in a frozen instant, too; motionless, her gaze focuses on the arc of the ball’s movement.
