Abigail Parkman Embroidery
Square, old-fashioned embroidery with frayed edges. The scene depicts a man and woman in 18th-century clothing standing in a garden. The man on the left wears a white outfit with a hat and holds a stick or cane; the woman on the right wears a long brown dress. They are surrounded by trees, bushes, and animals including sheep and a dog. In the background, a distant cityscape and mountains are visible under a cloudy sky. A decorative border at the bottom reads "ABIGAIL PARKMAN 1758".
