Penelope at Her Loom is a 1764 history painting by the Swiss artist Angelica Kauffman. It features a scene from Homer's epic poem The Odyssey part of Greek mythology. Penelope, while faithfully waiting for her husband Odysseus to return from the Trojan War, was pressed by various suitors to marry them as it was believed Odysseus had perished. She used a delaying tactic, suggesting she would only consider remarrying once she has finished weaving a burial shroud for her father-in-law Laertes. Each night she unpicks the day's stitching from the loom.
