One of Rosi’s first tapestries
Three horses, close together and in no hurry.
Horses gather at the watering place, heads lowered over blue water or turned towards one another. A dark horse in the middle drinks, while a chestnut on the left and a white horse above lean in close.
Rosi counts this among her first tapestries and says she sewed it with passion. It is a small, upright piece, 33 cm wide by 46 cm high, worked in DMC floss.
The horses fill almost the whole picture, so their faces carry it: the warm chestnut coat, the glossy black in the centre, the pale head at the top. Bridles cross the larger areas of colour in fine lines. Behind the animals, a pointed arch and a blue window suggest a stone building, and the same blue returns in the water below, tying the top of the picture to the bottom.
With so little landscape around them, the scene feels close and calm, as if you had walked right up to the water's edge. It would sit well in a study, a hallway or a country-style room, and anyone who loves horses will enjoy comparing their different markings.
Every horse was stitched by hand, on this one piece of cloth.
Rosi made this piece early on and can tell you more about it.
Rosi’s love for tapestry has grown with every piece she has made. She stitches them all by hand and gives each picture the time it needs.
