Historical Printed Textile

Suzanne Roy

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative textile pattern. The artwork features a square section of intricately designed fabric with an ornate pattern. The pattern is composed mainly of rich orange and blue tones, with intricate swirls, floral motifs, and parallel vertical lines which suggest an elaborate tapestry or wallpaper design. The details within the fabric include abstract shapes that look like leaves and floral designs. The overall composition is symmetrical and balanced.
