Rare Vermeer Art Repro Woman w Water Pitcher Crewel Embroidery Kit

Inspired from the famous painting by Johannes Vermeer. Standing at an open window, a woman begins her day with ablutions from a gilt silver pitcher and basin, with linen coverings protecting her dress and hair. The painting embodies the artist’s interest in domestic themes, giving an almost voyeuristic glimpse into the private life of a woman before she presents her public face to the world. Joyce Levitt's sensitive and artistic stitchery adaption captures the sensitve mood and soft tones of this masterpiece adding a dramatic look to your home decor. This treasure arrived in shopworn packaging which we've replaced to keep piece clean and ready to work.
