Panel c. 19th century

This 19th-century textile panel, created by an anonymous artist, features a repeating pattern of figures, flowers, and landscapes. Printed in shades of red and white on a linen ground, the design showcases the popular "toile" style, which often depicted idyllic scenes from pastoral life. The intricate details and delicate outlines of the figures and foliage create a charming and romantic aesthetic, typical of 19th-century textile design. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this artwork, which measures 28 1/2 x 23 1/2 in. (72.39 x 59.69 cm).
