Tapestry

Pearl Gibbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of floral patterns surrounding two central scenes. The image features large, vibrant flowers in shades of red and pink, surrounded by lush green leaves on a dark brown background. In the center are two distinct scenes encapsulated within decorative shapes. One scene depicts a bird perched on a birdhouse amidst a landscape, while the other shows a small animal in a pastoral setting. The composition suggests an ornamental design, reminiscent of traditional textile or wallpaper patterns.
