Embroidered Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Handkerchief by an unknown artist features a square piece of fabric with a light gray color and a white border around the edges. The fabric appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly cotton or linen, and has a slightly wrinkled texture. In the bottom-left corner, there is a white embroidered design depicting two horses. One horse is rearing up on its hind legs, while the other horse appears to be standing still. The horses are surrounded by flowers and foliage, which are also embroidered in white thread. The background of the image is black, providing a stark contrast to the light-colored fabric and embroidery.
