Hooked Rug

Marian Curtis Foster

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rectangular rug with an oval floral pattern at its center. The central motif features large flowers in colors like purple, red, and beige with green leaves and stems. The surrounding area has additional floral and leaf designs in colors such as light brown, green, and hints of pink on a light gray background. Darker brown leafy decorations fill the corners of the composition, contrasting with teal leaves at each corner. The rug is placed centrally and oriented horizontally on what appears to be a parchment or aged background, framed by a simple border.
