EDITORS COMMENTS
This sampler, created by American artist Ruth M. Barnes in approximately 1937, showcases a vibrant and intricate floral design that embodies the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s. The multi-colored, multicolored composition features a lush arrangement of blossoms, leaves, and stems, meticulously stitched in various shades of green and other hues. The artwork, which measures an impressive size, is a testament to Barnes' masterful needlework skills and her keen eye for detail. Barnes, an accomplished artist, employed watercolour gouache and graphite on paper to bring the design to life, resulting in a rich, textured piece that transcends the traditional definition of a sampler. The sampler's location is the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is part of the Index of American Design collection, a significant archive of American folk and decorative arts. The 20th century piece, with its charming, period charm, is a delightful representation of the country's artistic heritage. The sampler's creation during the 1930s and 1940s, a time of great change and innovation in America, adds to its historical significance. The artwork's intricate design and beautiful color palette make it a striking addition to any art centre or gallery, serving as a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in the smallest of details.
