BRITISH ATTRIBUTED FOLK ART BERLIN WORK NEEDLEWORK PICTURE WITH CAT, wool and silk on coarse linen, center with a large cat perched on a cushion next to two small animals, possibly dogs, on a red ground, top and bottom edges featuring bundled vegetation tied together flanked by large leaves, the right and left with flower baskets, each corner having large foliate motifs, all encompassed by patterned rectangular borders, left border signed "Micklethwaite M. Governefs At Spout". Unframed. Late 19th century. 21 1/2" x 17 1/2" image, 34" x 20" OA.
Catalogue Note: Per the object catalogue entry, this piece was given to Ms. Le Vin in 1976, "and at that time it was believed that the piece was acquired in Pennsylvania, but no further provenance is known. The inscription on the left border of the picture... suggests the piece originated in Great Britain... Memo to Trix Rumford from Gail Andrews dated 1/13/1976: THE GAZETEER OF THE BRITISH ISLES states that 'Spout' is in Derby, in Belper rural district. There is a village by the name of Micklewaite [sic] in Yorkshire; one mile from Dingley." Micklethwaite could also be a surname, or even a first name.
Very good visual condition with overall toning, some spots and areas of thread loss mostly having replaced stitching, some light fading and fugitive color, two edges unfinished with fraying.
Property deaccessioned by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Williamsburg, VA. All proceeds to benefit the collection acquisition fund.
Gift of Miriam Le Vin, West Chester, PA, 1976.
