Artist, American, 1897 - 1994

This is a painting of two embroidered caps. The artwork features two caps: one larger and intricately designed, and a smaller one beneath it. Both caps are adorned with embroidery showcasing floral patterns and organic motifs in soft, muted tones against a neutral background. The larger cap displays an array of embroidery along its length with repeating patterns and textures. The smaller cap mirrors this embroidery with a central floral motif encased in a geometric diamond design. The artist captures the texture and stitches, making the caps appear almost three-dimensional on the flat surface. The shading in the background and around the caps adds depth to the piece.
