Embroidered Stool Cover

Carmel Wilson

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a piece of tapestry or textile art. It features a large, central floral motif surrounded by intricate foliage and ornate patterns. The background is deep red and brown, with an earthy color palette including reds, browns, black, hints of green, and touches of pink and cream in the floral design. The tapestry is positioned centrally in the image with fringed edges visible at the top, and its pattern unfurls symmetrically from the center outward.
