Embroidered Picture

Frank J. Mace

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a decorative tapestry portraying a pastoral scene. The tapestry features figures in a garden setting, surrounded by flowers and a large dog. In the foreground, a woman in traditional, colorful attire is depicted in motion, while a building with a spire towers in the background to the right. The scene is rich with detail, from the lush, flowering trees in the center of the image to the stylized clouds above. The piece is framed by a floral border.
