Contemporary Folk-Style Textile Portrait

A lovely contemporary stitched portrait inspired by traditional folk art. The figure has a calm, gentle expression and is entirely hand-stitched on a linen ground using soft, muted threads.

Set in a deep, timeworn painted wooden frame, the piece has an easy, collected feel — the kind of thing that looks as though it’s always been there. Though contemporary, it nods to historic domestic craft and sits beautifully in country house, cottage, or layered modern interiors.

Hand-stitched textile on linen, in a reclaimed painted wooden frame.

Frame: 32 × 26 cm. Textile: 20 × 13.5 cm.

Excellent condition.

A warm, characterful piece with lots of charm.
