Eyelet Embroidery

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays intricate linear and geometric patterns within a rectangular frame on a plain background. There is an abstract, meandering line that curves, circular motifs resembling flowers, and diamond shapes reminiscent of woven nets or latticework. These elements create a rhythmic flow evoking natural and crafted forms like blossoms and embroidery.
