This meticulously embroidered picture, worked in both silk and wool threads, is a variation on the popular Tree of Life motif so prevalent in European textiles of the 17th and 18th centuries, inspired by the exotic trees and vines depicted on Asian trade goodss. Here, two trees with curving branches grow from small hillocks, sprouting a variety of brightly-colored, stylized flowers. The individual elements are worked in a pleasing combination of tent and eye stitches for subtle differences in texture, while the entire background is embroidered in a fine diamond pattern in pale blue silk. Charming in its layout, and careful in its execution, this needlework composition demonstrates the high quality of early-eighteenth-century English pictures.
