Woven Wool Carpet

William Bos

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an arrangement of horizontal lines and bands of varying thickness, intersected by a pattern of vertical stitches, creating a grid-like texture. The design consists of bold stripes in red, yellow, green, and black. The regularity and repetition of the lines and colors evoke a neatly woven mat or tapestry.
