The image shows an embroidered sampler with a central depiction of a large house, surrounded by trees and garden elements. Above the house, there is written text in an elegant script, followed by the name "Mary Pyewell" and the year "1883." The color palette includes soft greens, browns, blues, and hints of other pastel tones. Decorative floral and geometric patterns frame the entire piece in a continuous border. The house is slightly off-center to the right, while the text and floral motifs occupy the upper left quadrant of the sampler.
