Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Velvet Fragment by James. Tan velvet fabric with a deep purple floral pattern. The fabric is frayed around the edges and appears to be a fragment of a larger piece. The background is a light blue-grey color with a slightly textured surface. The velvet has a raised, plush pile in the purple areas. The fabric is positioned at an angle. The edges are rough and uneven. The fabric has a slightly shiny appearance.
