Brussels Carpet Bag

Jules Lefevere

National Gallery of Art

Two embroidered textile samples are displayed side by side against a light background. The left textile patch features floral designs with large blooming flowers in shades of light pink, red, and muted green on a brown background. The right patch displays a symmetrical floral pattern with roses in varying shades of pink surrounded by green leaves against a brown backdrop with a beige border design. Both textiles have warm color palettes, mainly consisting of browns, reds, pinks, greens, and beige. The left patch is positioned slightly higher than the right one, with a small space separating them in the center of the image.
