Woman's Jacket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woman's Jacket by this artist shows a close-up of a yellow fabric. A large circular design in the centre features animals including a deer, a bird, and a white horse or donkey, surrounded by a border of flowers, leaves, and geometric shapes. The animals are depicted in shades of brown, white, and pink. Above the animals are two buildings. To the left of the circle is a multi-coloured ornamental design with stripes and swirls. The background of the fabric is a light yellow colour with a subtle pattern. A small piece of a design is visible in the bottom centre.
