Woven Coverlet

Lucille Lacoursiere

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a textile with an arrangement of geometric shapes and lines. The design features a patchwork of rectangles and squares in an abstract pattern. The alternating light and dark tones create a checkerboard or mosaic-like appearance. The texture of the fabric adds a tactile quality. Fringes at the bottom edge suggest practical uses such as a decorative throw or rug.
