Coverlet 1935 - 1942

"Coverlet" is an embroidered textile artwork by Mae A. Clarke, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork depicts a floral design featuring a central basket of flowers surrounded by a delicate arrangement of leaves and blossoms in various shades of red, pink, and green. The intricate embroidery is executed on a dark brown fabric, creating a striking contrast. The fringed border adds a finishing touch to this classic American folk art piece. This piece is a testament to the rich tradition of handcraftsmanship, using embroidery as a visual language for expressing beauty and skill.
