Mother's Blouse - Cristina Iacob

An embroidered white blouse lies spread on an ochre surface, the linen falling into deep soft folds down the middle. The sleeves and shoulders carry bands of turquoise and cobalt needlework, with two panels of red, yellow and green flowers on a brown ground and a fine red edging along the hem.

Oil on canvas, the linen modelled in greys and the embroidery drawn stitch by stitch. Cristina Iacob is a painter and art conservator in Suceava, Romania, whose work draws on nature, memory and the traditions of Bukovina. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
