Velvet Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Velvet Fragment by Artist. Rectangular piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is light brown with a dense, intricate black floral pattern. The fabric appears to be velvet, with a soft sheen and a slightly raised texture. The background behind the fabric is light blue-grey. The fabric is laid flat, with some creases and wrinkles visible. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting it has been cut or torn. The floral pattern consists of curved stems and leaves, with no visible flowers. The pattern is repeated across the fabric, with no discernible beginning or end. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small border of light blue-grey background around it.
