Stokrose – spectacle case – Pia Matthiessen (PM)
The motif shows a classic hollyhock with a large open flower. The bloom is placed centrally and fills the lower part of the case. The soft petals are embroidered in light shades with subtle colour transitions.
Above the flower appears a bud and a slender stem. The bud has not yet opened and adds variation to the motif. The green leaves are positioned along the stem and create balance in the composition.
The large flower has a clearly defined centre. The detailed stitches add depth and structure, while the colours emphasise the characteristic appearance of the hollyhock.
The motif in Hollyhock – spectacle case – Pia Matthiessen (PM) is arranged vertically and naturally suits the format of a spectacle case. The simple composition creates a calm and decorative embroidery with a classic botanical expression.
