Fragment c. 19th century

This anonymous 19th-century "Fragment" is a small piece of embroidered fabric. It features a delicate design of flowers and vines in red, orange, blue, and purple against a white background. The embroidery technique, characterized by intricate stitching, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the unknown creator. This piece, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, serves as a valuable glimpse into the textile traditions of the 19th century.
