Hand-Embroidered Vintage Portrait with Floral Embroidery – Original Fiber Art in Oval Hoop

Description

This original hand-embroidered fiber artwork features a vintage black-and-white portrait delicately transformed with embroidered florals. The grayscale image is printed on natural fabric and framed in an oval embroidery hoop, then enhanced by hand with stitched magenta flowers and green stems that emerge gently from the figure’s veil.

The embroidery adds texture, color, and symbolism—introducing softness and life into the stillness of the vintage portrait. Floral motifs act as both adornment and narrative, suggesting memory, devotion, and quiet strength. The contrast between the muted photographic image and the dimensional embroidery creates a timeless, intimate presence.

Each stitch is sewn entirely by hand, making this piece truly one of a kind. No reproductions or prints will be made. This artwork sits at the intersection of fiber art, embroidery, and vintage-inspired mixed media, and is ideal for collectors drawn to subtle storytelling, textile craftsmanship, and historic imagery.

Perfect for gallery walls, curated interiors, or personal collections that appreciate handcrafted art with emotional resonance.
