Crewel Embroidery

Helen D. Bashian

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a large intricate flower with soft pink and red petals extending from a curved brown stem, dominating the right side. The color palette includes subtle pinks, greens, browns, and soft blues, against a light neutral background. The brown stem curves from the bottom right to the upper left, with green leaves, and smaller additional flowers including a violet blossom to the left and a slender white flower near the lower left corner. The shapes and curves of the vines and flowers are fluid and organic across the canvas.
