Machine Woven Carpet Bag

Mary Berner

National Gallery of Art

The image features two rectangular textile samples with intricate floral designs. The color palette includes earth tones, red, brown, and hints of turquoise blue. The top fabric sample overlaps the bottom one, both centered on a cream-colored background. The patterns on each textile are similar, with swirling floral motifs positioned at varying angles, the top one slightly smaller and curvier, while the bottom sample features a larger, more extended design.
