Wedding Handkerchief

Eleanor Gausser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square, light-colored handkerchief with detailed embroidery on its lower right corner. The color palette is primarily cream with hints of gray and brown in the intricate designs along the edges and corner. Positioned in the center of the image, the handkerchief's embroidered details include floral and curved motifs, primarily concentrated on the bottom right and extending towards the center. The handkerchief appears to lie flat against a neutral background, slightly crumpled around the edges.
