Silk with Embroidered Flowers c. 1941

"Silk with Embroidered Flowers" (c. 1941) by Douglas Campbell (1855-1995) is a vibrant example of textile design, featuring delicate floral motifs embroidered on a luxurious silk background. The yellow silk, with its subtle vertical lines, creates a rich and elegant backdrop for the colorful blooms, adding a touch of delicate beauty to the design. The varied arrangement of the flowers, with their intricate details, showcases Campbell's mastery of embroidery technique and his appreciation for the intricacies of floral arrangements. This artwork would likely have been intended for use in high-end fashion or home decor, reflecting the refined taste of the early 20th century.
