Hooked Rug

Lucy Trask Barnard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular hooked rug with a colorful design. The rug depicts a white house with a brown roof and two chimneys in the center. The house has two stories, with four rows of four arched windows on the front. A rainbow spans across the top of the rug, behind the house. Two trees, one on each side, frame the house. The tree on the left has a thick trunk and branches that extend upwards. The tree on the right has a thinner trunk and more sparse branches. A garden with pink, red, blue, and yellow flowers is in front of the house. A bird is in a circular patch of dirt on the left. The background of the rug is blue sky.
