Toile imprimée pour broderie de perles (sans perles) « Petite maman »

“Little mom” — a girl bends over a wicker cradle where three kittens have settled in. A warm and slightly touching piece.

What the picture shows

The girl kneels with her back to the viewer: fair hair gathered into a bun with a blue ribbon, a long blue dress with a pink bow at the back. On the right stands a straw-yellow wicker cradle on wooden rockers, lined inside with pink fabric and lace. Three kittens lie in it — white, ginger and grey tabby. The background is a wall of horizontal wooden boards with a spray of pink roses across it. At the left are a large blue-and-pink hydrangea and a folded blanket. The beadwork is partial: beads cover the girl's dress and bow, the whole cradle with its pink lining, the floor and part of the flowers, while the kittens' faces and paws, the wooden wall and the roses stay printed on the canvas.
