This beautiful vintage artwork features a stunning 19" x 13" handmade needlework silk embroidery depicting a serene building by a lily pond. The intricate craftsmanship showcases the talent of the artisan who meticulously created this piece in Vietnam.Hand embroidery is a traditional art form that allows the artist to work on various fabrics, such as cotton and silk. The process begins with transferring the pattern onto the fabric by hand, using a scanned paper needle pattern along with pastels and kerosene. Unlike cross-stitch embroidery, this method focuses on creating strokes rather than incorporating colors directly into the pattern. This technique provides the artisan with the opportunity to display their creativity by using a wide range of thread colors, including raw thread, polished thread, and silk thread. The threads used are vibrant and smooth, ensuring that the finished embroidered picture looks luxurious and striking.It's important to note that colors may appear differently on computer screens and in digital photography, so the actual piece may vary slightly from what is seen online.The process of mastering hand embroidery is a time-consuming and skill-intensive journey, often taking several years to achieve proficiency. The artisan's ability to learn, their patience, creativity, and inherent talent all play a role in becoming a skilled hand embroiderer.Please be aware that this listing includes the artwork only, and it does not come with a frame.
