This remarkable embroidered landscape depicts rural pastures, a distant cityscape, and ships on the waterway in between. Farmers load hay into a horse-drawn wagon, while dogs, sheep, and birds populate the land. The piece is worked primarily in satin stitches. However, the sky and many other parts of the scene are not embroidered. The sails of the ships are simply outlined with black thread, while the dogs, bird, horses, and the faces of the farmers are drawn on the silk and padded. Similar scenes are identified as being from the Derby Academy of Hingham, Massachusetts, but this is impossible to confirm due to the lack of a signature, dates, or provenance (record of ownership).
