Woven Covering for Chair Seat

Elizabeth Moutal

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a swatch of patterned fabric with a textured, woven design. The fabric is primarily composed of dark blue and red melange yarns, creating a mixed appearance that includes hints of a beige or taupe tone. The textile sample is positioned vertically. It contrasts against a pale background, highlighting the fabric's weave. The upper portion of the fabric leans more towards dark blue, while the lower results in a plaid-like pattern that mixes blues, reds, and beiges. There is a slight curl or fold partly demonstrating its thickness. The dimensions are marked on the right side of the fabric with the note "3½"."
