Embroidery

Herman O. Stroh

National Gallery of Art

The image features a pattern with wavy lines and symmetrical shapes dominating the design. The design includes motifs that resemble elongated leaves, blooming flowers, and curlicue stems. The repeated presence of basket-like shapes and circular flower-like figures with intricate details connects the design to familiar garden scenery. Borders at the edges mimic decorative trims.
