Dark-colored curtain with stripes and tassels titled "Curtain" by artist Jasper Johns. The curtain hangs on a white rod against a white wall. It has a patterned valance at the top with two looped tassels. The curtain is tied back on both sides with cords that have tassels at the end. A white lace curtain is visible behind the dark curtain. The curtain appears to be made of a thick fabric and has a decorative trim along the bottom edge.
