Friendship Pillow

Max Fernekes

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a piece of fabric featuring multiple embroidered designs. The largest design is a red and pink flower at the top center, with a pair of camels at the bottom left. The overall color palette includes shades of brown, red, pink, green, blue, and black. Various objects, such as animals, flowers, and other shapes, are scattered across the fabric with no consistent pattern. A windmill is at the top left, next to a wreath, and several birds and insects are also present. Near the bottom, two monkeys are holding a pink heart, and just to the right, a larger animal figure is standing.
