Woven Coverlet

Dorothy Posten

National Gallery of Art

The image features geometric shapes and lines with a grid-like pattern of vertical and horizontal elements in blue and red against a brown background. The design includes forms resembling ladders or windows, squares, and rectangles distributed throughout. The blue and red sections create a woven fabric or checkerboard look, while the horizontal lines along the edges suggest tied fringes or tassels.
