Embroidered Strip

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered Strip by Mark Rothko. The image shows a long, horizontal rectangular piece of fabric with a dense, intricate floral pattern. The background of the fabric is brown. The floral pattern is made up of many small flowers and leaves in various colors, including red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white. The flowers and leaves are densely packed, with no visible gaps between them. The fabric appears to be made of a thick, heavy material, possibly cotton or linen. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, with some loose threads visible. The overall effect is one of vibrant color and intricate detail. The fabric fills the entire image, with a black background visible around the edges.
