Textile from Quilt

Millia Davenport

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a collection of textile pattern samples. The image features a series of rectangular and square swatches, each displaying intricate and distinct textile patterns in various colors and designs. The swatches are organized in a grid-like arrangement against a plain background. The patterns range from floral motifs to geometric shapes, with color palettes including reds, blues, purples, and browns. Some swatches contain intricate weaves and others showcase printed designs, some resembling traditional or cultural textile patterns. The piece as a whole provides an organized yet diverse visual representation of textile art.
