About the Item

An unusually fine and delicate, mid-19th American figural needlepoint showing an idyllic view of frontier life with a young girl reaching up on tiptoes towards a grape-laden vine on a tree bough that her mother is lowering within her reach. A detailed view beyond shows an expansive landscape with a water-mill standing beside a river beneath a clouded blue sky. An elegantly composed and finely-worked piece that breathes a natural and relaxed charm and retains much of its original, organic color. Displayed in the original hand-made giltwood swept frame. Framed dimensions: 14.25 H x 14 W x 1.75 D inches.
