Hand-Embroidered Vintage Portrait | Mixed Media Fiber Art Wall Decor

This original hand-embroidered vintage portrait is a one-of-a-kind piece of mixed media fiber art, combining historical photographic imagery with intricate hand embellishment. A grayscale profile portrait of a woman is reimagined through delicate beadwork and embroidery, transforming a quiet moment into a powerful contemporary textile artwork.

The subject’s hair is adorned with a sculptural, hand-embellished floral motif made from embroidery, beads, and metallic accents. Fine wire and bead details extend outward, introducing movement and dimensional texture that contrasts with the softness of the photographic surface. The intervention highlights themes of femininity, adornment, and constructed beauty, referencing early fashion photography and ornamental traditions.

The artwork is presented in a round wood frame, giving the piece a finished, gallery-ready presence. Designed as fiber art wall decor, this piece functions as both an intimate portrait and a modern statement object.

Ideal for collectors of textile art, embroidered portrait art, feminist art, and contemporary fiber art, this work bridges historical imagery and modern craft techniques, reclaiming embroidery as a powerful visual language.
