Coverlet

Sarah F. Williams

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a textile with intricate patterns and fringe. The textile appears to be a woven piece with a checkered pattern using alternating geometric designs in red and white. The red patterns create floral and grid-like motifs, while the white portions serve as a contrasting background. Along one edge of the textile, there is a decorative fringe with a zigzag cut interspersed with hanging red tassels.
