Crewel Embroidery

Suzanne Chapman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a botanical design with two main elements: flowers with pink and white petals and green leaves, and a wavy base composed of layers in yellow, blue, and green. The color palette is soft and includes pastel pinks and whites for the flowers, subdued greens, and a spectrum of greenish-blues at the base. Positioned centrally, the flowers are perched above the wavy layers. The design is set against a plain light background, creating contrast and highlighting the colors within the boxed outline of the drawing.
