Sampler

Henry Meyers

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a sampler featuring letters and numbers. The image shows four rows of cross-stitched alphabets in both uppercase and lowercase, along with various numerical sequences. The letters are arranged in horizontal lines and are executed in a variety of colors. The bottom section contains a decorative motif with a pair of symmetrical, plant-like shapes and a geometric design between them. Below this motif are the initials "CW" and the year "1799." The sampler is framed by a colorful border.
