18 (Detail) Catharine Clark, 1812, New England Young Catharine Clark, \particularly graceful sampler in 1812; her verse, landscape, cartouche and borders practically float on the linen. The luminous red floss used for the verse and inscription, \with the deep green and gold meticulously worked to form the landscape scene and the blue, teal and gold of the fluid borders. At the center near the top is a cross stitched butterfly, barely visible and quite endearing. The sampler descended in Windham County, Connecticut, and was most likely made in the eastern part of the state. It is worked in silk on linen, is in excellent condition and has been conservation mounted into an early 20th century frame. Sampler size: 191jz'' X 161/4\Price: $3,850. M. Finkel e9 Daug .. ter.
