Jacquard Coverlet

Paul Kelly

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a textile with a detailed design featuring floral and leaf motifs woven in shades of blue and reddish-brown. The central and right portions show a distinct pattern alignment, creating contrast between the background and foreground designs. The right edge includes text that reads: "W. Craig W.V. Greensburg IA. 1861." The weaving showcases delicate craftsmanship with symmetrical and fluid organic forms in a traditional style.
