A needlework mourning picture composed of a painted and embroidered design upon a satin-weave silk ground. The scene depicts two young women dressed in classical garb within a landscape, one seated before a tombstone and another standing behind it by a tree. The tombstone is inscribed 'In memory of Danial Rollins who died June 4th 1795 AE 36'. The embroidery is worked primarily in fine satin stitch using several shades of green, brown, yellow-green, ivory-white, taupe, and beige silk threads. Tiny knotted stitches are also used in several of the trees at the left of the picture and in the bush at the bottom of the picture. A lesser number of stem or outline stitches are used to outline the costume of the figures. The sky, tombstone, and the heads and arms of the mourning women are painted. The embroidery is framed with its original black and gold eglomise mat with floral designs in each corner and the inscription, 'Ann W Rollins.' at the center bottom and its original gilded frame. Frame: original eglomisé mat and gilded frame.
