The image shows a woven portiere by artist William Morris. The portiere features a two-toned red and beige color scheme. The top section has a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves in a horizontal band. The bottom section has a larger, more intricate floral pattern with flowers, leaves, and stems. The background of the image is a plain gray wall. The portiere fills most of the frame.
