Description

British Sailor's Woolwork With Trapunto Sails,

(Ref: NY9163/NUMR)

The large colorful folky sailor's woolwork or woolie depicts a large square-rigged three-masted first-rate battleship. The sails are depicted trapunto. The hull of the ship is orange as are the masts. A blue ensign flies from the foremast, a red ensign from the mainmast, and an American flag from the Mizzenmast. Three smaller ships are in the foreground. The ship on the left with a little loss to the sail as seen in the photo. The woolwork within a maple frame.
