A needlework picture worked in wool on linen featuring an image of a woman standing within an architectural structure with classical characteristics, including an arch, tiled floor, and a a half column. The figure represents "Fortitude" - one of the four cardinal virtues. She stands dressed in classical or classically inspired robes (in cream and rose) placing one hand atop a broken fluted column and the other hand on her left hip. At her feet is the statue of a lion. Behind her to her right is a small unidentifiable statute. Behind and to both sides is a low wall with oval reserves, in one of which is the image of a lyre and other symbols. In the landscape beyond this enclosure is a flat, green lawn and trees as well as a round classical building, possibly a folly with architectural ruins on the ground surrounding it. The embroidery is worked in wool threads in multiple colors including dark coral, light coral or burnt orange, and a very lt. orange, cream and a greyish cream, yelllow gold, black and/or navy blue, taupe, dk. and lt. brown, olive green, lt olive green, dk. medium, and lt. blue green, rose red, medium rose red, and pink. The ground is a fine glazed linen sewn neatly to a coaser linen backing. The stitching is crude - worked in satin or surface satin, long and short, sometimes in a very orderly and flat manner and at other times in many directions, appearing almost haphazard. Some stem or outline stitching is used, especially in the architectural elements. The needlework is mounted in a black and gold wood frame with a sanded gold mat and oval opening. The frame is not original to the embroidery.
