Bedspread

Phyllis Dorr

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral border design. The image depicts a decorative pattern with stylized floral motifs in shades of blue against a cream or light-colored background. The design consists of various flowers and leaves, arranged in a flowing pattern with curved stems connecting them. Each flower design varies slightly in shape and size, contributing to an overall sense of rhythm and movement across the textile border. The intricacy of the line work and the balance in the composition reflects a style reminiscent of traditional fabric or wallpaper patterns.
