Blue Silk Scarf

Samuel Faigin

National Gallery of Art

There is a folded blue textile with intricate patterns of animals and foliage embossed on it. The edges feature multiple grey stripes. The color palette includes touches of grey at the borders. The napkin is positioned slightly to the left within the image, with its folds neatly aligned and the bottom corner overlapping slightly with the opposite edge. The background is a plain, off-white surface.
