Title
Berlinwork Needlework
Description
This Berlinwork floral arrangement is cross-stitched on canvas using wool threads/strands. (The first patterns were published in Berlin, Germany.) The variety of colors create shading to provide dimension to the bouquet that contains many pink/red flowers. Sarah Ann Franz cross-stitched her name at the bottom center.
The piece is framed with a double mat, white and pink, in a large frame of mahogany veneer.
