Valance

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a window treatment titled "Valance" by an unidentified artist. The valance is centered on a white rod. The valance and curtains are dark-colored with stripes and a patterned band down the center. The valance has a decorative trim along the bottom edge. The curtains are tied back on either side with tassels. A sheer white curtain is visible through the opening. The background is a plain white wall. The image is in black and white. The valance and curtains appear to be made of a thick fabric. The folds of the fabric are visible. The tassels are long and have a decorative element at the top.
