Description from the seller

Old embroidery on a silk background, work from the late 19th century, illustrating a lively landscape in a picturesque spirit: river, stone bridge, ruins and a figure accompanied by animals in a leafy setting.

The execution in polychrome silk threads testifies to careful workmanship, with a refined search for depth and a nuanced rendering of the planes. The tones subtly patinated by time fully participate in the charm of this decorative composition.

Dimensions visible: approximately 30.5 x 22.2 cm
Dimensions with frame: approximately 47.5 x 36.7 cm

Presentation under an antique mount (about 3.1 x 2 cm), in a wooden frame presumably later, with a double mat on the back.

Condition:
The embroidery is well preserved.
The silk background shows age-related alterations, notably in the upper part as well as in the lake area. Presence of light stains and marks of time.
Framing with wear at the corners.

Characteristic work of decorative textile productions from the late 19th century, appreciated for its finesse of execution and evocative character.
