This is a drawing of a lace-patterned textile. It features a section of lace with an intricate floral pattern in a white or cream color above a solid red band. The lace has a repeating series of circular floral motifs, each encircled with petal-like shapes and dots. The lace strip is at the top part of the red band. The background is plain and unadorned.
