About MeEmbroidered silk framed picture in an oval cream silk field with painted sky and female figure embroidered in green blue and brown coloured silks wearing a blue empire line dress with cloak. The figure is reclining on a sarcophagus marked with the name Oscar and holds a book titled "Malvinas Lament". The whole scene is against the background of a tree, a willow tree and bushes, on a grassy ground with a stream and mound of bushes in the foreground. The frame is gilt painted wood and the glass is painted black to form an oval reserve with a gilt motif in each corner.
