ABIGAIL GOULD 1796 |
|
This sampler shows a man and a woman
beneath an apple tree, reminiscent of Adam and Eve, but in contemporary
dress. Possibly of New York origin (the format and background
suggest this), this reproduction is stitched on linen with either
cotton or silk, with the background filled in entirely with wool. |
