Cleveland Museum of Art

White linen sheet with needlepoint lace top and side trim. The sheet is rectangular with a straight bottom edge and a wavy top edge. The top edge features a row of triangular points made of lace. Below the points, a horizontal band of intricate lace runs across the sheet. The lace is made up of repeating patterns of circles and other shapes. The right side of the sheet has a vertical band of lace that runs from the top edge down to the bottom edge, with a wavy edge. The background behind the sheet is solid black. The style of the lace is reticella. The work is by an unknown artist.
