Woven Coverlet

James M. Lawson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative textile pattern. The image features a square textile with intricate floral and geometric motifs in red and white. The central design consists of repeated, symmetrical floral patterns, divided into smaller square sections that form a larger unified grid. Each section contains a central, stylized flower with elaborate petals, surrounded by smaller floral and leaf motifs. The border on the left and bottom sides showcases a different pattern with a series of paisleys, adding a contrasting yet complementary texture to the main section. The textile appears to be richly detailed, indicating a high level of craftsmanship in its design.
