Jacquard Coverlet (Detail)

Ralph N. Morgan

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a decorative pattern. It depicts a rectangular section of woven fabric with intricate designs primarily in red, blue, white, and hints of green. On the left side, there is a red and white abstract floral or leaf pattern. In the center, there is a white bird with its head pointed down and wings folded back against a red and blue background. The right side is deep blue with white floral motifs like leaves and branches surrounding the bird. The fabric ends in fringes matching the main colors, transitioning to a plain paper background.
