George Constantine

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a square piece of folded cloth with a checked pattern. The cloth has a warm, rust-orange color and features a grid pattern made up of thin white and blue lines, with embroidered letters in white near the center that look like "E W." The folded cloth is centrally placed against a plain, off-white background.
