Needlework picture

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white needlework picture by an unknown artist. The image depicts a landscape with a large urn on a pedestal in the foreground. The urn is positioned on a square pedestal adorned with a pattern on one side. The urn features a wide bowl with a narrow base and top. The bowl of the urn is decorated with leaves and what might be a ribbon. The top of the urn appears to have a small, round object. A woman in a long dress stands to the right of the pedestal. The woman seems to be leaning on the pedestal. The background includes trees, bushes, and flowers surrounding the pedestal. A large tree with a distinctive curved trunk is on the right side. In the distance, a building with a pointed roof is visible. The sky appears cloudy. The entire scene is rendered in shades of black and white.
