Wool Coverlet

Edmond W. Brown

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an intricate textile design. The image depicts a detailed pattern composed of various floral and geometric motifs in blue on a rectangular white cloth. The left border includes a meandering vine-like pattern, while the central and right sections are densely filled with an array of floral shapes, stars, and abstract forms. The meticulous arrangement of these patterns suggests a carefully crafted piece. The surrounding background is a simple, unadorned beige.
