Coverlet

J. Howard Iams

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a textile design with a floral pattern. The image showcases a textile with an intricate floral motif primarily in shades of blue. The textile is displayed diagonally, with one corner folded over to show the other side of the fabric. The pattern includes circular floral forms and smaller flowers on a light background. The fold reveals a similar pattern in a darker shade of blue, indicating the textile is double-sided. The design is bordered with a fringed edge. The layout is balanced, displaying complexity and symmetry in the floral arrangements.
