Jacquard Coverlet (Detail)

Alois E. Ulrich

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative textile pattern. The composition features a fragment of woven fabric with exquisite detail. There are two primary sections: one in vivid red and the other in deep blue, each adorned with intricate white patterns. In the red section, there are abstract floral motifs, while the blue section prominently features a white bird surrounded by floral elements. The weave of the fabric and texture of the yarns are skillfully rendered, with the bottom of the piece showing frayed threads.
