Woven Coverlet

Helen Bronson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woven textile with a large pattern consisting of floral motifs, geometric designs, and intricate depictions of structures and animals. The color palette includes shades of pink and cream, with a fringe of beige at the bottom edge. The textile is positioned with its top left corner folded over, revealing its intricate pattern and some text that includes names such as "ROBERT" and "ALEXANDER." The design is symmetrical with repeated motifs throughout, and the fold creates a diagonal line across the upper left area where the pink hue is more concentrated.
