Woven Coverlet (Detail)

Magnus S. Fossum

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a woven pattern with fringes. It showcases a detailed, geometric woven textile design with intersecting bands of blue, red, brown, and white. The composition has a central cross-like arrangement where different patterns converge, creating a rich texture. On the right side, there are loose, flowing fringes extending from the woven fabric in shades of blue and red. The design emphasizes the intricacy of textile art with its meticulous and rhythmic interplay of colors and patterns.
