Embroidered Picture

Jules Lefevere

National Gallery of Art

The image includes a large flower arrangement in a two-tone vase labeled "Eliza Luther 1795." The flowers featured vary in shape and size and include roses, tulips, and assorted blossoms, accompanied by green and blue leaves. The color palette consists of soft pastels, including pinks, blues, greens, and creams, set against a light blue background. The vase is positioned near the bottom center of the image, with the flowering stems and foliage extending upwards within a rectangular border framed by a thin brown edge. A patch of green grass is visible beneath the vase.
