Sampler

Eileen Knox

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of an embroidered sampler showing intricate cross-stitch work on fabric. The sampler features alphabet letters, a date, a brick house, and floral patterns. The border has a vibrant floral motif in red and green threads. The central design is a detailed depiction of a red brick house with a green lawn, surrounded by rows of alphabet letters and a verse. The color palette includes reds, greens, and golds, typical in traditional needlework. A separate piece of the floral border pattern is displayed in the bottom right corner for detail.
