Woven Coverlet

Elizabeth Valentine

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a fabric pattern design. It illustrates a detailed pattern in shades of blue and off-white with intricate, symmetrical shapes such as ellipses and rectangles interlocking in a balanced arrangement. The fabric features large oval shapes surrounded by grid-like structures, below which there are two parallel bands with a simpler design. The craftsmanship and complexity suggest a careful and precise approach to textile design.
