Civil War Sash

Gladys C. Parker

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of red tassels. The image depicts two deep red tassels hanging side by side on a neutral background. Each tassel features intricate knotting and braiding at the top, with long fringes extending downward. To the right of the tassels, there is a faint, unfinished pencil sketch of a similar tassel. The rendering of texture and the play of light suggest the artist's attention to detail. This is in style of Gladys C. Parker, whose name appears beneath the tassels.
