Linen Towel

Eva Wilson

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a textile item with a light cream color and bright red decorative embroidery. A horizontal band across the middle of the textile contains a repeating red geometric pattern set against the cream background. The color palette includes cream, red, and hints of white from the fabric's fringes and accents. The textile is centered vertically on a neutral-colored surface, giving it a symmetrical appearance with fringe details extending slightly beyond the bottom edge.
