Bedspread

Suzanne Roy

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a textile design. The artwork features a section of fabric adorned with various colorful embroidered motifs arranged on a pale background. These motifs include stylized trees, blooming flowers, and birds, depicted in a vivid palette of reds, greens, blues, and yellows. The main composition is divided into two segments: a top section with evenly spaced decorative elements and a lower part with a more densely packed array of floral and animal designs.
