Lace

Carl Buergerniss

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three distinct textile patterns aligned vertically. The largest object at the top is a lace-like pattern featuring floral motifs. The middle object is a band with an oval and dot design, and the smallest, at the bottom, is a lace pattern with circular flower designs surrounded by a checkered border. The color palette is monochromatic, with varying shades of gray delineating the patterns. The objects are centered on a plain, off-white background, each occupying its own horizontal section from top to bottom.
