Blue and White Homespun

William O. Fletcher

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a woven textile swatch. The textile features a repetitive geometric pattern composed of interlocking rectangular and checkerboard designs. Dark blue and off-white threads are used to create the pattern, resulting in a striking contrast. The edges of the textile are slightly frayed. The overall appearance reflects traditional weaving techniques and intricate patterns. The composition shows the meticulous care and skill involved in creating detailed fabric designs.
