Associated Artists

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric, vertically oriented, with frayed edges on the left and right sides and a straight edge across the top. The fabric has a yellow-beige background with a repeating pattern of green and brown water lilies and leaves. The pattern elements are rendered in a sketch-like style with stippling and texture. The right side of the fabric appears slightly uneven and frayed. A small white tag is attached to the upper right side.
