Modèle de broderie

Embroidered by Julia Ann Fitch American
1807
Not on view
Au centre de ce modèle de broderie exécuté par Julia-ann Fitch, de Hatfield (Massachusetts), une jeune femme assise lit un livre. Il s’agit à n’en pas douter d’un commentaire sur la controverse du moment : l’éducation des femmes. Dans la plupart des treize cercles qui l’entourent, la jeune fille a brodé le nom des membres de sa famille et des dates d’importance : naissance, mort, mariage. Deux autres cercles, d’esprit patriotique, rappellent la naissance et la mort récente (en 1799) de George Washington, de même que la date de naissance de la jeune nation.
