Woven Coverlet

Mary Berner

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a square piece of textile with a repeating pattern. The pattern features stylized peacocks perched on floral branches in shades of blue, set against a background in earthy tones of red and beige. A decorative border with geometric and floral motifs in a similar color scheme is on the left side. The design is ornate and suggests a traditional textile art style, possibly Eastern or Indian in origin.
