Printed Textile

Lucille Lacoursiere

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a textile fabric sample with intricate patterns. The fabric features two main vertical bands, each with a stylized floral and paisley design. The left band is in shades of blue and brown, with beige ornate designs on a blue background. The right band is in green tones with dark detailing, having a similar ornamental pattern. Between these is a narrower red band with dark designs, contrasting vividly with the adjacent colors. The fabric is bordered with a repeating geometric motif, consisting of small square-like shapes. The use of color and shapes creates a rich, ornate appearance reminiscent of traditional fabric prints.
