The piece features a masterfully executed hand-embroidered portrait of a Braque Dupuy, an elegant French pointing dog.

The embroidery is worked in a sophisticated "Richelieu" cutwork technique on a fine French linen-blend overlay. This trellis-like pattern elegantly reveals the shimmering, high-quality pink satin beneath, creating a beautiful interplay of textures. The dog is rendered with meticulous black thread-work, capturing the breed's classic "on point" stance and noble profile. The pillow is finished with a delicate gathered ruffle in matching pink satin, maintaining its original vintage charm and mid-century aesthetic.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The pink satin retains its vibrant sheen and structural integrity. There are a few small pin size marks on the satin. The hand-embroidered linen cutwork is intact and securely attached. A remarkably well-preserved textile for its age.
