Beautifully-worked large-scale silk needlework picture of a colourful cock pheasant depicted taking flight in a wooded landscape. The golden yellow silk backing having suffered from some deterioration from age and perishing, yet the needle-work subject matter retaining good strong colours and condition.
The original carved giltwood and gesso rectangular moulded profile frame having some later gold overpaint . The glazed picture with an inner card slip surround. The reverse retaining its original backboards .
A fine example of English country-house decoration , probably completed by the lady of the house . An accomplished and skilfully-executed fanciful needlework study in charming 'as found' original condition.
