Cartoon for Textile Design

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown and beige fragment of a textile with a drawing of multiple birds. The drawing on the textile shows a row of seven birds. The birds are drawn with a thin black line. The birds are similar but not identical. Their bodies consist of a circle for the body and a curved line for the back. A line extends from the bottom of the body circle to form the legs. The heads consist of a smaller circle with a dot for the eye. A curved line extends from the top of the head to form the beak. The tops of the birds' heads are obscured by the rough and uneven edge of the fragment. A brown and beige leaf design extends below the birds. The fragment is set against a beige background. A piece of the textile extends up the left edge at a right angle to the main piece. The artist is unknown and the title is "Cartoon for Textile Design."
