Block Printed Handkerchiefs

Dorothy Lacey

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern. It features a repeated floral design on a deep brown background. The flowers have intricate patterns in red, white, and mustard yellow colors. There are lace-like edges around the main floral elements. The flowers are interconnected by smaller floral motifs and patterns, creating an aesthetic reminiscent of vintage textile design. The style is similar to that of William Morris, known for intricate textile and wallpaper designs.
