Details:

Sophia Barney wrought this Massachusetts silk embroidered memorial c.1810.
Silk embroidered memorials were very fashionable in the latter part of the
18th and early 19th centuries. This example by Sophia Barney is lacking the
inscription which was intended to be filled in at a later date. Silk
embroidered pictures were considered accomplishments, prized by parents, and
prominently displayed.

Silk & watercolor on silk; 26 7/8" x 22 1/2" Frame size.
