Crewel Embroidery

Helen E. Gilman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a folded piece of fabric with a floral embroidery design. Large flowers in pink, white, and orange shades are embroidered against a yellow background. The color palette includes yellows and pastel tones of pink, orange, and white. The fabric is centered in the image with its folds creating a three-dimensional appearance, and the embroidered flowers are scattered across the fabric with stems and leaves intertwined throughout.
