Embroidered Rug

Dorothy Lacey

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rectangular embroidery piece with a central basket filled with flowers and foliage. Surrounding the centerpiece is a pink and beige striped border with dark green fringes. The color palette includes soft beige, vibrant pinks, greens, and hints of blue. The floral basket is positioned centrally, and the decorative border frames the scene. The green fringes add texture to the composition.
