Selvaggia Beijing Embroidery

Emerging from a printed linen base, the graceful silhouette of a ballet dancer minutely embroidered with raphia-pulled thread stitches is the subject of this superb piece of textile art. Satin stitches in warm tones of red and brown complete the embroidery, which is a testament to artist Andrea Incontri's artisan mastery and actualization of its inclusive vision of femininity.
