Crewel Embroidery

National Gallery of Art

The image features stylized floral motifs scattered across the page. The largest objects are a pink carnation-like flower on the left, a cluster of small white and red-dotted flowers in the center, and a purple flower with a green stem on the lower half. The palette consists of delicate shades of pink, red, white, purple, and green against a beige background. Positioned towards the top left, the pink flower is angled diagonally downward with its stem extended towards the center. The central white and red flower cluster is surrounded by a spiraling stem, while the purple flower is on the bottom, slightly off-center to the right. In the upper right corner, there is a faint yellow flower with the text "SAMPLES OF ACTUAL SIZE" nearby.
