Embroidered Panel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The embroidered panel by artist William Morris features a predominantly cream-colored background. The panel showcases a floral design with various flowers and leaves in shades of blue, yellow, brown, and red. The flowers are intricately connected by curved stems and leaves, creating a sense of movement and flow. The embroidery is densely packed, with little visible background. The overall design is symmetrical, with elements mirrored on either side of a central axis. The panel's edges are slightly frayed, adding to its handmade appearance.
