Woven Coverlet

Magnus S. Fossum

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a pattern composed of a grid of squares with intersecting lines and small squares at the intersections. The abstract composition resembles a woven fabric with a plaid or tartan design. The alternating blue, red, and brown colors alongside the white background give an appearance similar to a checkerboard. The image suggests a textile connection by showing a fold in one corner with fringes along the edge.
