In a lakeside workroom, a pair of hands draws a needle through silk to embroider a blooming peony, beside a folded embroidered cloth and a round hoop stretched with a flowering spray, while a weaver works at a loom in the distance. Flowers and leaves built stitch by stitch evoke the delicacy and vitality of embroidery.
