Veil

Nancy Crimi and Marie Mitchell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, semi-circular lace fabric with an intricate pattern. The lace has a delicate border with scalloped edges, while the inside is filled with a repeating small floral or paisley-like design. The overall color palette is monochrome with shades of grey and black, giving the lace a subtle contrast. The lace is positioned centrally within the image against a plain background, with its straight edge at the top and the curved, scalloped edge at the bottom.
