Erskine Carter

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of four fabric patterns. The composition includes four rectangular swatches, each featuring distinct designs. The top swatch has a light brown background with small blue and white abstract shapes. The left swatch shows two patterns: one with coral-pink on dark blue, and the other with floral motifs in similar colors. The right swatch has circular flower patterns on dark blue, while the bottom swatch has small motifs resembling snowflakes or stars on deep blue. A name, Erskine R. Carter, is written below the fabric samples.
