Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a textile sample from a sample book by an unknown artist. The sample is a rectangle with a diagonal line dividing it into two triangles. The left triangle is light blue with a brown design, and the right triangle is dark brown with copper-colored threads. A yellow border surrounds the sample, with darker yellow speckles. Two white labels with serrated edges are attached to the sample. The label on the left reads "3669" in black text, and the label on the right reads "3670" in black text, but the numbers are partially cut off. The numbers are written vertically.
