Berlin woolwork - Florals
Pastoral
Pastoral is a classic, romantic picture of rural idyll. A small country church, a pond, green trees, and a beautiful blue sky. The countryside scene is framed by an elaborate design of intertwined roses and blooms, a style so popular at the time, and which would have been stitched in bold, bright colors.
