Sampler

William Kieckhofel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a sampler featuring letters, symbols, and simple figures. The image shows an organized and symmetrical arrangement with an alphabet displayed at the top in a decorative font. Below the alphabet, various motifs such as floral designs, birds, and ornamental patterns are present along the edges. A central motif appears to feature a religious or symbolic emblem. The overall look is delicate and seems designed for needlework or embroidery, with details typical of samplers.
