Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Perron de campagne »

“Country porch” — a wooden crate of pink flowers and greenery standing on a light porch. A calm summer view with nothing hurried about it.

What the picture shows

At the centre is an old crate of wide boards in a warm wood tone with pale grain. Greenery spills generously out of it: fine feathery foliage hangs down the sides and covers the edge of the box. Pink flowers with yellow centres bloom above, beside them stand mauve and violet spikes, and a few small yellow heads show at the left. A thin sprig with blue and pink flowers creeps across the boards, and a few more are scattered at the lower right. The background is blurred — soft pink, cream and pale green patches suggesting a wall and a windowsill. Coverage is partial: beads fill the crate, the foliage and the flowers, while the blurred background stays as print on the canvas.
