Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular textile sample with a light brown border speckled with darker brown dots. The border is about 1/8 inch wide. The main body of the sample features a tan and light blue patterned fabric. The pattern appears woven with the tan areas having a raised, bumpy texture. The background of the fabric is light blue with a fine grid-like weave. A small white rectangle on the left side of the sample displays the number "3680" in black text, rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The sample fills the image with no background visible. The title of the sample is "Textile Sample from Sample Book" and the artist is unknown.
