Needlepoint Picture

Jules Lefevere

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a needlework portrait of an individual from the upper body up. The person faces slightly to the right with their head turned toward the viewer. The facial features are stylized, with a noticeable nose and a slight smile. The individual has light gray hair styled close to the scalp. They are depicted wearing a high-collared shirt, a dark bow tie, and an outer garment with earth tones like browns and greens. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain with a neutral textured pattern. The artwork rests on a cream-colored canvas base.
