Woven Coverlet

Dorothy Lacey

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an intricate floral and ornamental pattern on a blue background. The square canvas features a symmetrical design with a central medallion surrounded by floral motifs. The centerpiece is a circular, ornate design inspired by traditional lace or fabric patterns. Various flowers, leaves, and ferns are intricately woven into the composition, all in delicate white against the dark blue. The border is ornately decorated, enhancing the elegance and traditional aesthetic of the design. This style is reminiscent of 18th to 19th-century European decorative arts.
