Embroidered picture

Chenille and silkwork landscape picture with painted sky and water worked in silk floss and chenille yarns in various browns, greens, golds, and pink. A bay or river-scape: in the foreground, a forested area with a small farm. On the opposite shore, a large town. From the right, two points of land (or islands) jut in, each with houses. Many boats on the water, both sailing vessels and row boats. The buildings and fences are satin stitch, while the land masses, trees, etc. are dense chenille work.
