Piece of Calico

Edward Grant

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two rectangular textile patterns side by side. The left pattern displays green and mustard-colored leaves on a black and beige background. The right pattern showcases green leaves and red floral shapes on a dark background with a complex geometric design. The color palette includes greens, mustard, white, red, and black. The two patterns are centrally placed on a neutral, off-white background, with the left design being slightly larger than the right. Measurements are given for each pattern directly on the image.
