A small needlework picture of a man (boy?) and his dog hunting a rabbit. The piece is wool yarn on mesh backing and dates to the mid-19th century. It is probably English. The needlework measures 10 ¼” x 8 ½” and is framed in an old (probably not original) gold painted frame (flaking of the gold paint). It is nicely stitched and the colors are mellow. Hunter is climbing over a fence, rifle in hand, and the faithful hunting dog staring down a rabbit who seems to be saying “Catch me if you can!” And you’ve got to love the crow in the tree above the dog. The needlework is in fine condition with no holes in the mesh, rips or tears. Some minor stitch loss (mostly in the sky on the left, on the hunter’s right leg and the white spot on the back of the rabbit – and these may have been left unstitced on purpose!) but it blends in well and is very hard to see. The needlework is a bit wobbly in the frame, the masking tape holding it in being dry and brittle.
