Coverlet

J. Howard Iams

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a detailed repeating pattern of floral and geometric designs in light blue on a dark blue background, with inscriptions including "HOLINESS TO THE LORD." The fabric has a section folded over to reveal the underside with the same pattern in inverted colors, primarily dark blue on a white background. The overall color palette is dominated by shades of blue and white. The fabric is positioned flat on a sheet, with the top right corner folded slightly towards the center to reveal the underside pattern.
