Chintz

Sylvia Dezon

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a piece of fabric with an intricate floral pattern. The fabric features a symmetrical layout filled with a variety of blooming flowers in shades of red, blue, and purple, surrounded by leaves in corresponding colors of blue and brown. The background of the fabric is a subtle shade of off-white or beige. The flowers are arranged in clusters, connected by slender, curling vine-like stems. The edges of the fabric appear to be slightly frayed.
