Panel c. 1745

Anna Maria Garthwaite was a celebrated English textile artist known for her exquisite needlework designs. This piece, "Panel," c. 1745, showcases her mastery of floral motifs. Delicate vines adorned with pink, blue, and yellow blossoms cascade across a creamy ground. The subtle variations in the blossoms and their placement create a sense of organic movement, while the elegant, repeating design suggests a carefully crafted pattern. This panel is a testament to Garthwaite's artistry and her skill in creating intricate designs that were both beautiful and functional.
