"Needlework" is a pen-and-ink drawing created in 1936 by American artist Lena Nastasi (1855-1995). The artwork depicts a stylized floral motif, crafted with intricate line work and a delicate, almost lace-like texture. This piece, reminiscent of Nastasi's needlework-inspired aesthetic, showcases her distinctive style, characterized by precise detail and a minimalist approach to form.
