Eagle Coverlet

Eva Wilson

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an intricately patterned textile. The textile is composed of horizontal bands featuring complex designs in red and blue against a beige background. Each band displays a unique pattern with floral and geometric motifs repeating across its length. The fabric appears textured and layered, with deliberate folds creating depth and movement. The edge of the textile is slightly frayed. This piece captures the rich detail and ornate quality typical of a historical fabric swatch. This is in the style of a still life painting emphasizing fabric and texture.
