Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sample of fabric. The fabric is triangular and has a tan background with a dark green floral pattern and a brown accent. The fabric has a small white label with the number 3446 in black text at the bottom. The fabric is attached to a blue background, possibly paper or cardboard. A small portion of another fabric sample is visible in the upper left corner, with shades of brown, green, and tan. The blue background has some handwritten text, but it is not legible. The image appears to be a sample from a sample book, as indicated by the title. The artist is not visually identifiable in the image.
