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 subtle texture. The fabric has a wide border around the edges with a thin white decorative stitching. In the corners of the border are small white embroidered designs resembling birds or flowers. The bottom-right corner of the fabric features a larger, more intricate white embroidered design that includes flowers, leaves, and a bird. The background of the image is solid black. The fabric appears to be slightly wrinkled.
