Embroidery Needlepoint

Eugene Croe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with their entire body visible from head to toe. The person is depicted in an upright position with legs slightly apart and hands resting on their hips. The facial features are stylized and simplistic, with red lips and small black lines for eyes, while the hair is brown and extends from beneath a hat. The person is dressed in a historical-style outfit including a white shirt with voluminous sleeves, a green waistcoat fastened with red buttons, brown breeches, and white stockings paired with black shoes featuring red detailing. The background shows a scenic landscape with stylized greenery, rocks, and distant hills.
