Lengths of Silk Brocade

Cleveland Museum of Art

Lengths of Silk Brocade by an unknown artist. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric has a dusty rose background with thin, vertical, darker pink stripes. The pattern consists of interlocking white lace-like ovals with a diamond lattice interior. Inside the ovals are floral bouquets with blue, pink, white, and green flowers and green leaves. The flowers appear to be roses and peonies. The white flowers are small with five petals. The fabric edges are frayed. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
