Beaded Bag

Lucille Lacoursiere

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a drawstring pouch with a landscape scene. The pouch features a rural setting with a winding path leading through greenery towards small houses with red roofs, surrounded by trees and hills. A large tree stands near the center. The top section of the pouch has a decorative pattern, while the bottom is fringed with blue strands. The drawstring is an earthy cord. The style resembles folk or naive art, known for its simplistic forms and vibrant colors.
