拍品專文

Bearing a slight mis-spelling of Lititz, this embroidered picture was likely made by a girl attending the Moravian Boarding School in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The circular format, sequinned border and watercolor background details are all features seen on related works from this school. For an example from this school formerly in the collection of Betty Ring, see Sotheby's, New York, January 22, 2012, lot 646.
