A vertically oriented linen embroidery with frayed edges depicts two figures in a landscape of muted tones. To our left, a woman in a pink gown sits by water, holding a fishing rod. Behind her stands a man in a gray coat. Trees with textured, layered leaves, a red house, and birds fill the background. In the foreground, white flowers and a basket of fish rest, rendered in repeated, fine stitches.
