This highly decorative little embroidered picture is a fine example of some of the work produced in the first decades of the 19th century in southern Europe. Coiled metallic threads and embellishments were couched to the silk and delicate silk embroidery formed the blossoms, leafy fronds, monogram and sawtooth border. This may have been a marriage piece as indicated by the symbolic pair of birds, interlocked rings and Greek cross.
Worked in silk and metallic thread on silk, it is in very good condition with some very small holes. It is in the late 19th century oak frame that housed it for many years.
