Mama did at least three versions of this needlepoint depicting Jean-Honore Fragonard's A Young Girl Reading. My mother has had one for as long as I can remember, my Aunt Kathy has one, and a smaller version was created as a wedding gift for wife and I in 1999. The original painting hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (click for larger image).

By far the most luscious needlepoint you've ever posted. Just fantastic needlepointing. (My gosh, is that even the right term for it? LOL.) Keep those needlepoints coming, I want to download the full set of your grandmother's needlepoints.
Did you know that Frank Miller loved needlepoint art? It's true www.wikipedia.com/frankmillerlovedneedlepoint
Wouldn't it be cool if Frank Miller needlepointed (yes, that's right) an entire issue of Batman?! Mama would be so proud...
