An adaptation of a Michael Dahl painting from 1705 representing Queen Anne as Flora. This vibrant needlework is rich in symbolism. The lion in the foreground is associated with strength, the strawberry plant, loyalty, romance and friendship. The rose and red carnation, eternal love. The pear tree symbolic of the female form and her femininity and sensuality
In Christian contexts it symbolises the Virgin and Child. Anne is seen holding a garland, natures rich bounty. A vibrant and rare needlework, and in excellent condition.
