Embroidered Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Handkerchief by an unknown artist features a square piece of fabric with rounded corners. The fabric is light gray with a smooth texture and appears slightly wrinkled. A small, four-petaled embroidered flower is present in the center. The edges are adorned with intricate white lace trim featuring floral patterns and fan-like shapes. The lace is layered, with a thicker, more textured layer on the outside and a thinner layer closer to the fabric. The outer edge of the lace is scalloped. The background is solid black.
