Beautiful piece of needlework. It depicts The Assumption of Mary. She is above the clouds with 2 angels.
Dated 1879 and marked with initials AP (?)
The figures are painted velvet cutouts and are surrounded by a very ornate floral decoration.
The canvas edges are a bit damaged and darker.
The whole canvas has discoloured.
