Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Velvet Fragment by artist unknown. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is brown and cream-colored. The pattern consists of brown chevron shapes with a textured floral motif in the center of each chevron. The chevrons are arranged in a zigzag pattern. The fabric appears to be velvet, with a soft, plush pile. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
