A small English “stump work” more correctly called Raised Work embroidery featuring a young woman in flowing lace-trimmed gown and stripped cloak holding a flower, possibly as an iconographic reference to the sense of smell--one of the four senses commonly presented in this type of work and embroidery of the era. The figure's face and hands are three dimensional, possibly worked over top of a wooden form or wire (which seems to be showing where the one hand has deteriorated). Her dress is three dimensional, also, having been worked in detached stitches and also wired to give a fullness to the whole. It was common to depict people and scenes in this type of work standing before a castle in the background and to surround the figure or figures with a cartouche also created by the use of detached stitches forming overlapping in leaves or scrolls. In the spandrels outside of the center oval, are four floral designs embroidered with less dimension: these may be an iris, tulip, rose, and another flower--gain perhaps alluding to the sense of smell. Framed in what may be original wooden frame painted black with gold interior edge
