About this artwork
The back of this appliquéd and embroidered picture bears a label that reads To E.S.J. from her very loving and grateful friend Ann Macbeth. Macbeth, an innovative artist who attended the Glasgow School of Art and later became head of the embroidery department, likely made this picture for her friend and colleague Elizabeth Jackson. Jackson, an expert embroiderer, is known to have worked some of Macbeth’s embroidery designs.
