Deel van een geborduurd antepedium before 1874

This is a detail of an embroidered antependium, a frontal for an altar, created by Isabel Agnes Cowper, a prominent needlework artist in the late 19th century. Cowper's work was known for its intricate detail and fine craftsmanship, exemplified in this piece with its delicate floral motifs and intricate stitching. The antependium itself was likely made of silk or velvet and would have been used in a church setting, likely for a specific religious occasion.
