Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a gold border, featuring blue and brown designs on a tan background. The fabric is centered within a gold border that appears to be tape. The gold border is rectangular and has a rough, uneven edge. The fabric within the border has a tan background with a diagonal ribbed texture. There are blue and brown designs on the fabric, including what appears to be a leaf or flower pattern. A white sticker with the number "3778" in black text is affixed to the bottom left corner of the fabric. The background of the image is a blue-gray color, possibly a table or other surface. The fabric sample appears to be from a sample book by the artist.
