Embroidered and Painted Picture
Embroidered and Painted Picture by an unknown artist depicts a woman in a long, off-white dress with blue trim, standing on a grassy hill. The woman has curly brown hair and is wearing a headband. She is holding a bundle of wheat or grain in her right hand and extending her left hand toward a bird. A large bird, possibly an eagle, is perched on a rocky outcropping behind the woman, with its wings spread out. The bird has light-brown feathers and is facing the woman. The background of the picture is a blue sky with white clouds. The picture is framed in a dark brown border with gold trim.
