Sampler

Dorothy Posten

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an embroidered sampler with a tree bearing red fruits, a small house, and three birds. The color palette includes greens, blues, reds, and a beige background. The top features a stitched alphabet with the name "Sarah Park." Below the alphabet is a stitched verse, with decorative borders framing the piece. The largest objects are the tree, house, and birds in the center, and ornate floral and geometric motifs decorate the edges.
