Length of Chinoiserie Chintz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The textile features a repeating pattern of three distinct vertical panels. The left and right panels depict a family scene in a garden. The central panel showcases a floral design on a brown background. The scenes on the left and right panels feature a woman sitting on the right and a man sitting on the left under a pavilion. The woman holds a child. The color palette includes shades of red, blue, yellow, green, and brown on a cream background. The fabric appears to be a type of chintz. The title of the piece is "Length of Chinoiserie Chintz". The scene includes palm trees and a pagoda. Flowers are visible throughout. The overall design suggests an 18th-century European interpretation of Chinese motifs.
