Hooked Rug

Lucy Trask Barnard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a rectangular hooked rug. The rug features a floral border around the perimeter. The border consists of colorful flowers in shades of red, pink, white, blue, and green on a brown background. Inside the border, two large brown trees with foliage frame a central scene. The scene shows a white house with a brown roof and several chimneys. A smaller red building with a white trim is to the right of the white house. A horse-drawn carriage with two people is on a path in the foreground. A person and a bird are on the path to the left. The sky above the house is blue with clouds.
