EDITORS COMMENTS
This embroidered picture, titled "Benediction," was created by American artist Evelyn Bailey in the mid-20th century, around 1936. The image showcases a serene scene of two houses nestled among the rolling hills of an idyllic countryside. The houses, rendered in blue and white, are adorned with intricate patterns of red and green, reminiscent of patchwork quilts or traditional needlework. The houses are surrounded by lush greenery, and the sky above is painted in soft watercolour gouache and graphite, adding depth and dimension to the piece. Bailey's "Benediction" is a testament to the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s, a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. The picture's intricate embroidery and meticulous sewing techniques reflect the artist's dedication to her craft. The title "Benediction" suggests a sense of blessing or divine approval, adding a spiritual dimension to the work. The image of two houses in a pastoral setting may also represent the idea of a home and hearth, a place of comfort and security. This evocative piece is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Bailey's "Benediction" is a valuable addition to the gallery's collection, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century.
