This linen sampler, created by G. Glas in 1894, showcases the artist's needlework skills. The piece features an alphabet, numbers, and simple decorative stitches, all executed in red thread on a white background. The inscription "G. Glas april 1894 mei" at the bottom provides insight into the artist's identity and the timeframe of its creation. Samplers like this, often created by young women, served as a way to practice and demonstrate needlework skills and were considered a form of domestic art.
