This is a gorgeous example of textile art, both embroidered and painted. The image conveys a hot afternoon: a sultry blonde leans out of a window with a cigarette in a long holder in one hand, and a large feather fan in the other. This lovely flapper lady's hair is styled in the "wave" popular in the 1920s and 30s, and her cheek is lit with a pink blush. She wears a dark gray-green or teal sleeveless dress. Beneath the window is a brick wall, and at each of the corners are stylized flowers and leaves. The needlework, in black and yellow, provides texture and definition to the painted colors, which are red, mustard yellow, blue, pale peach, and the dark gray-green. The colors are bright, showing no fadingand there is very little discoloration of the linen. I also note no tears or frays--it appears the piece has been in this frame (or some frame, under glass) since it was made. The sizes noted include the beautiful arts & crafts frame, which is a dark and rich wood. This frame has some rough areas on the outer ridge, although these have the same patina as the rest of the frame. I have not removed the article from the frame to examine the edges and back.
