A silk on silk embroidery of “The Judgment of Paris” showing three women in theatrically inspired dress (neither contemporary 19th century, nor classical) clustered together and one young man sprawled on the ground giving them his undivided attention. The man (presumably Paris) is dressed in knee breeches and jacket and holds a crown of roses on a stick. He places his hand on the nearest woman's back as if chosing her. The first woman (Venus?), already wearing a crown of roses on her head, turns back to look at him. The other two (Athena and Hera?) appear to be urging the first to leave, taking her by the hand. One woman (Athena?) has a bonnet (substitution for a helm) and a jacket with puffed striped sleeve. The other (Hera?) has a plain dress with puffed sleeve tops and ruffled collar. The woman looking backward has a dress with sleeves matching those of the man formed of deep triangles of black and creme, a bodice that buttons in the front, and a gathered collar. The figures are set within a landscape of trees and bushes with water showing both in the foreground and in the background. The embroidery is worked in colored silk threads (blue greens, dark grey-blue, medium grey-blue, light grey-blue, black, cream or off white, lt. gold, taupe, olive green, beige, dark golden brown, lt. rust, pink, etc.) and watercolor on silk ground. Framed in gilded Federal style frame, most likely original, with a cloth-covered mat that is no doubt a replacement for original eglomise mat which would have had identification of maker and possibly school and title.
