Money Bag

Flora G. Guerra

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a geometrically patterned textile swatch. The textile features a repetitive pattern of small, diamond-like shapes in shades of red and beige, meticulously woven to create a cohesive design across the fabric. The top of the textile is adorned with an intricate border, composed of textured, looped fibers in a soft beige tone. Small, tufted accents in blue-grey are positioned at various points along the textile, adding pops of color and highlighting the edges and intersections of the pattern.
