Under the instruction of Doña María

Granada, Spain, 1818
Excellent sampler made by Carlota López Diaz in 1818 under the instruction of Doña María de la Concepción de Toro in Granada, Spain. Original tassels. This sampler, along with 11 others, is discussed in a recent essay, Samplers from Spain: An Introduction by Dr. Lynne Anderson, Founder and Director of the Sampler Consortium and Director of the Sampler Archive Project, which can be read here.
This is currently unframed; we can mount and frame it of course.
