National Gallery of Art

The image shows an embroidered design featuring large blue flowers and curving stems. The flowers are complemented by decorative leaves. The color palette consists of varying shades of blue with light gray elements on a beige or cream background. The largest stem emerges from the bottom center of the image, branching outwards to support the flowers, with additional leaves interspersed, creating a symmetrical pattern that spans across the image.
