Embroidered Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered Fragment by Unknown Artist. The image shows a piece of torn, gray fabric with white embroidery. The fabric is irregularly shaped and has rough, frayed edges. There are several holes and tears in the fabric. The embroidery depicts a floral pattern with stems, leaves, flowers, and buds. The embroidery is white and appears to be a cutwork design, with some areas of the fabric cut out to create a lace-like effect. The background of the image is solid black.
