Embroidered Picture c. 1937

This embroidered picture, created by Jules Lefevere in 1937, showcases a delicate bouquet of flowers in a red and white striped container, signed with the name "Elija Hunter 1798." The artwork features a variety of floral elements, including roses, lilies, and other blooms, skillfully rendered using vibrant, colorful threads. This type of needlework, often referred to as "sampler" or "floral sampler", was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, often created by women as a demonstration of their needlework skills. The inscription "Elija Hunter 1798" suggests a possible connection to the piece's creation and ownership, further adding to its historical significance.
