About the Sampler from the Designer
This eighteenth century English sampler exhibits some stylistic motifs popularized in the seventeenth century alongside the more contemporary fashions of the year 1777 as seen in the style of the figures’ clothing.
It is executed in a good variety of stitches including, mostly the ubiquitous cross stitch, as well as double running stitch, eyelets, queen, back, counted satin and petit point. An elegantly dressed lady holding a fan and wearing a sumptuous green gown appears to acknowledge a gentleman on the other side of the verse who is presenting a bouquet of flowers to her, leaning on his walking stick with his black dog at his feet. The verses are from Psalms 13, 14 and 15. Below each figure a primitive heraldic crowned lion is executed in back stitch.
On 40 count linen the reproduction sampler will be almost the same size as the original: 10″ x 13-1/2″
