Fragment of Velvet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a rectangular piece of fabric known as "Fragment of Velvet". The fabric has a light blue background. The fabric features a repeating pattern of red and gold shapes. The gold shapes are teardrop-shaped with a floral design. The red shapes are curved and vine-like, connecting the gold shapes. The fabric appears to be worn and frayed at the edges. The fabric is set against a light gray background. The overall design is symmetrical. The fabric by artist is likely to be from an older time period.
