N.B. The painting at hand appears to be a 19th-century, mirror-image recreation of Greuze's painting The Wool Winder, c. 1759, an oil measuring 29 3/8 x 24 1/8 inches, in the collection of the Frick Museum in New York since 1943. The reversed composition suggests that the painting was copied after a print.
