Woven Coverlet

John Gasaway

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rectangular textile with an abstract pattern of geometric shapes and lines. It includes checkerboard patterns, elongated ovals, and parallel vertical lines in blue and beige tones. The arrangement may evoke woven designs like tartan or gingham, with intricate weaving creating an optical illusion effect.
