Handwoven Coverlet

Howard H. Sherman

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a woven textile pattern. It features intricate geometric designs created with elements of weaving, such as triangles, squares, and lines in a regular pattern. The colors used are bold blue, cream, and red, creating a vivid visual contrast. The drawing includes sections displaying detailed textures and patterns, carefully arranged to create a harmonious design. Fringes at the bottom add a tactile element to the image. A smaller scale version of one of the patterns is displayed in the top right corner.
