Coverlet

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative textile design. The image features a tapestry-like pattern with florals and geometric shapes, dominated by red and blue colors against a light background. The design includes intricate floral motifs and symmetrical arrangements, alongside a block of text reading "EMANUEL ETTINGER ARONSBURG" followed by the year "1841." This element interplays with the intricate border patterns that suggest weaving or embroidery.
