Curtains

Lillian Causey

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a curtain with a central floral embroidered panel hanging down the middle, bordered by plain fabric on either side, and additional embroidery at the bottom and top. The color palette includes muted cream, with accents of red, blue, and green within the floral design. The embroidered section is vertically positioned in the center, flanked by the plain curtain fabric, and there is a horizontal decorative element at the top extending across the width. The embroidered decoration creates a prominent frame along the margin and base of the curtain.
