Gros Point Needlework - Flowers

Ivar Julius and Albert Rudin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a tapestry with a large bouquet of flowers, mainly roses, and other blossoms stitched in shades of pink, red, white, and light purple. The color palette includes vibrant greens for the leaves, contrasting with the pastel pinks, deep reds, and purples of the flowers, against a beige background. The flowers are arranged in a circular pattern in the center of the tapestry, covering most of the canvas.
