Embroidered Rug

Jules Lefevere

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of floral patterns. The image is divided into two sections. The upper section consists of an intricate oval-shaped arrangement of leaves and berries in shades of green, orange, and blue. The leaves form a symmetrical design. Smaller floral elements with circular blue berries are painted at the center, surrounded by swirling details. The lower section features two purple spherical flowers with textured surfaces, attached to dark and light stems with pointed leaves. The background is textured beige.
