The image shows a long, white, scalloped piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is positioned horizontally across the center of the image. The scalloped edge is at the bottom, with curved points facing downwards. The fabric features a repeating pattern of various flowers and plants in black. The flowers and plants are drawn in a simple, detailed style with lines and shading. The background of the image is a light gray color, resembling a wall or other flat surface. The fabric appears to be hanging or draped over something, with a slight sag in the middle. The artist of the fabric is not visually represented; however, the title is "Valance".
