This striking work is a hand-stitched needlepoint tapestry, depicting a portrait of a young person with auburn curls, dressed in 18th-century-style attire. The figure’s expressive eyes and softly blushed cheeks bring a sense of realism and emotion to the piece, skillfully created through careful shading and intricate embroidery.
The subject wears a deep blue velvet-like coat with a ruffled white collar and coral-red vest, reflecting the fashion of the Rococo or Georgian period. The background in muted earthy tones, with hints of green suggesting foliage, subtly frames the figure without detracting from the detailed facial expression and garment textures.
