Coverlet Fragment

Alois E. Ulrich

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a woven textile sample. The textile features a geometric pattern of interconnected diamond shapes, each composed of a grid-like arrangement in varying shades of blue and white. The fabric appears to be handwoven, with visible weft and warp yarns creating a textured effect. The fringed edges suggest that this is a sample piece. The photo captures the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the textile, highlighting the interplay of color and structure within the design.
