Adelaide Monselice Sette Chiesette Embroidery

A fascinating woman flaunting a willowy silhouette dressed in an eccentric openwork dress is the female subject of this superb piece of textile art. Deftly embroidered by hand, combining pulled thread and satin stitches, the cream-toned, forest-green, red, and midnight-blue embroideries emerge from a blue-toned printed linen backdrop for a vibrant chromatic statement. A tiny yellow ribbon accents her waist.
