This small, neatly stitched sampler dated 1812 comes from Berlin. The maker finished her clearly arranged needlework exercise, executed in traditional rows, with more and more popular motifs of the time period published in Berlin: a wreath formed by rosebuds, a rose sprig, and a branch of an oak tree. The romantic Biedermeier period (1815 - 1848) is already announced in this portion of the sampler. The piece therefore belongs to the works of the transition period.
