Large Framed Art Nouveau Embroidered Textile Panel After Paul Berthon - Large-format framed textile panel featuring an embroidered composition based on the 1899 lithograph La Femme aux Lotus by Paul Berthon. The central figure is a woman in a classical flowing white gown and veil, holding a lotus blossom. The figure is surrounded by tall vertical reeds and large multi-petaled lotus flowers in shades of cream, pale pink, and yellow-green. The work is executed on a natural-toned linen ground with silk or mercerized cotton threads. Needlework techniques include satin stitch, long-and-short stitch, and stem stitch, providing texture to the drapery and floral elements. Fine detailing is present on the figure's face and hands. The piece is mounted under glass in a dark-stained wooden frame with a wide, arched wooden mat. No maker's marks or signatures are visible.
