Applique Quilt

Alois E. Ulrich

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a fabric design. The image depicts an intricate pattern on a piece of fabric against a neutral background. The fabric features a repeating motif of vibrant, leaf-like shapes in warm hues of orange, red, and yellow, bordered by greens, with small floral shapes in between. A red line borders the edges of the fabric, framing the pattern. The painting captures the texture of the fabric, showcasing the material's weave and the detail of the design. This is in the style of William Morris.
