Fragment of Bed Curtain c. 1937

"Fragment of Bed Curtain" is a 1937 embroidered textile piece by Florence Earl (1855-1995). It is a small, delicate work, depicting a single stylized flower in shades of blue, green, and yellow, with a single stem, set against a cream background. Earl's signature appears in pencil at the bottom of the piece. This artwork is an excellent example of the detailed needlework that Earl is known for, demonstrating her meticulous craftsmanship and skill. The fragment, possibly a sample for a larger project, provides insight into Earl's design process for textiles and demonstrates her eye for color and form.
