Sampler, México, 1870 Description: This exquisite sampler, created in México around 1870, showcases the intricate needlework and textile artistry of the 19th century. The piece, of unknown origin, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Mexican needlework and design. The sampler is composed of a cotton plain weave fabric, providing a solid foundation for the intricate embroidery that follows. The design is adorned with a vibrant array of floral motifs, each meticulously embroidered with wool using back cross long armed cross hem and stem stitches. The colors, still vivid after more than a century, add to the piece's allure and charm. The sampler's location in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection is a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. The Art Institute, as a leading art center and gallery, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing important works of art from around the world. This Mexican sampler, with its intricate needlework and colorful design, is a prime example of the institute's commitment to showcasing the heritage art of various countries and centuries. The sampler's patterns, both geometric and floral, reflect the influence of European design on Mexican needlework during the 19th century. The piece's needlework techniques, however, remain distinctly Mexican, demonstrating the unique artistic traditions that have evolved in the country. The sampler's enduring beauty and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in textiles, needlework, or the artistic heritage of México. Its intricate design and vibrant colors continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Mexican needlework and textile art.
