This anonymous cushion cover, created between 1600 and 1650, showcases a scene of three figures in a lush garden setting, likely depicting a scene of domestic life. The vibrant colors and intricate detail in the embroidered artwork, including an abundance of fruits and flowers, reflects the popular interest in naturalism and decorative arts during this period. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and domestic aesthetics of 17th century Europe.
