Embroidered Handkerchief

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Handkerchief by an unknown artist features a square piece of fabric with a large central rectangular section that is a light gray color. The central section is surrounded by an intricate border of white lace, adorned with floral patterns and geometric designs. The lace is made up of multiple layers, with a scalloped edge around the outer perimeter. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the delicate white lace. The handkerchief has a ruffled edge, with the lace extending outward from the central section in a series of folds.
