Embroidered Table Scarf

Mabel S. Kelton

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a textile fragment with an ornate, pointed pattern. The design is primarily composed of two large ornamental shapes. The left shape has a pink and red floral motif on a golden brown background, while the right shape has a faded design with blue and peach elements. The color palette includes shades of brown, pink, red, blue, peach, and cream. The textile piece is centered on the canvas with fringed edges at the bottom, and it appears to be placed on a neutral, light-colored background.
