  • This is a Dutch darning sampler, often worked in orphanages. This one could be from the Burgerweeshuis Amsterdam, based on the crowned initials AM. The text reads "Den 20 October anno 1792" (The 20th of October, anno 1792) and "Out 15 iaar" (age 15 years). This seems to be in line with other samplers from the orphanage in Amsterdam, where the girls making them are often 15 years old.
