Handwoven Linen

Mary C. Davidson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric with an embroidered design. The central motif features a plant-like design with a vertical stem, leaves, and stems within a border of interconnected leaves and floral forms. The color palette is minimalistic, with the fabric in light beige and the embroidery in a slightly darker or similar light hue. The embroidered pattern is centrally positioned within the square fabric and framed symmetrically with blank space around it.
