An exquisite example this late-19th century panel depicts a delicate scene of two bees hovering over a basket of flowers. The fine needlework is rendered in a palette of golds and earth tones, in soft contrast to the rich, golden brown silk backing. Composed in accordance to traditional paintings, the panel captures the beauty of nature. A fine gilt frame further enhances the delicate sheen of the textile's exceptional needlework.
