A square cream silk and cotton embroidery features a symmetrical composition centered on a two-story yellow house with a blue roof. Stitched text "ANNO 1793" sits between winged figures above the house. Flanking the residence, tall vases hold stylized flowers beneath fruiting trees. Below, a spotted animal stands on the left while a brown deer rests on a green mound. A border of blue and red blossoms frames the entire pictorial work.
