Executed in the 1970s in Denmark, this rare example of embroidered wall art presents four distinct layers of hand-stitched needlepoint: two subtle renditions of the Danish flag (“Danmark”), agricultural and musical iconography, and, in the deepest register, a poetic representation of Danish geography — soft mountains, gentle clouds, and rolling grass.
