Handwoven Coverlet

Hazel Sheckler

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornately patterned textile with a smaller section overlaid at the top. The artwork showcases an intricate design composed of repeated motifs centered around a large floral emblem. The main pattern is bounded by geometric borders, featuring stylized urns and floral elements. The dominant colors are blue and white. A fringe detail is visible at the bottom. The smaller, inset pattern in the upper right corner appears to reflect a segment of the larger design.
