Woven Bed Cover

This is a photograph of a cut-paper artwork. The artwork features intricate symmetrical designs resembling floral patterns and geometric shapes meticulously cut out from a dark blue background. Dominating the center of the composition is a large, circular floral motif composed of repeating botanical elements, surrounded by angular shapes and decorated borders. The right side of the design includes a depiction of a columned building. In the bottom right corner, a rectangular box holds the name "Jane Wright," along with the date "Oct. 14, 1824." The complexity of the cuts and the balance of the design create a visually stunning piece that demonstrates both precision and artistry.
