This is a painting of two embroidered textile designs. The artwork features two rectangular textile pieces with intricate floral embroidery. The larger textile at the bottom has an ornate design featuring large blooming flowers with pink petals and green leaves, centered around a larger flower with a small golden cross at the bottom. Each textile is bordered with a zig-zagged brown ornamental trim. The smaller textile at the top mirrors the floral theme with a central flower and similar border but in a more compact layout.
