Ethel Dougan

National Gallery of Art

Two blue knitted mittens with a red and white striped band near the cuffs are the largest objects in the image. The color palette includes shades of blue, red, white, and a light background. The mittens are centrally positioned, slightly overlapping, with their thumbs facing each other. The mitten on the left has a pattern of white stars running down its outer edge.
