EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and charming Frog Purse, created in the 17th century by an anonymous English artist. Currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this exquisite piece of mixed media art is a true testament to the skill and creativity of its maker. Measuring just 6 x 8 x 2 cm, this miniature purse is adorned with intricate silk and metal threads, silk floss, silk fabric, leather (?), wire, and glass beads. The needlepoint technique used to create this masterpiece features detached needlepoint as well as laid and couched stitches. The frog motif adds a touch of whimsy to this baroque-style accessory. Its zoomorphic design reflects the fascination with nature prevalent during that era. This decorative pouch not only serves a functional purpose but also acts as a fashion statement for its owner. The ornate beading work further enhances its aesthetic appeal while showcasing the artisan's attention to detail. This cute amphibian-inspired purse is truly one-of-a-kind and stands out among other Western art pieces from that period. As you admire this photograph print from Bridgeman Images, let yourself be transported back in time to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship behind this extraordinary needlework creation.
