Mary Berner

National Gallery of Art

A rectangular piece of fabric with a floral and leaf pattern in soft creams, blues, reds, and greens, with details in brown. The fabric hangs vertically in front of me, with its upper corners slightly pinned or held up. There are distinct sections with different patterns on the left and right sides.
