Fragment of Needlepoint (Cutwork) Lace

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, horizontal piece of off-white fabric with a floral cutwork lace design. The fabric has rough, frayed edges and is set against a black background. The lace design features a repeating pattern of small, four-petaled flowers and geometric shapes. A central floral motif is surrounded by symmetrical patterns of flowers and shapes that extend outward. The flowers have four petals and are black, while the fabric is off-white. The fabric appears to be a fragment, as it is not a complete piece. The overall design is intricate and ornate, suggesting it may be a piece of needlepoint or cutwork lace. The title of the piece is "Fragment of Needlepoint (Cutwork) Lace". The fabric resembles a type of lace made by the artist.
