Coverlet

Edward White

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a patterned textile. The textile features a repeating pattern of red and blue, with various geometric and leaf-like motifs arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The squares alternate between red and blue with organic shapes resembling leaves or vines. The background is a light color, contrasting with the bold colors. The edges have decorative fringes. One corner is folded over, showing the reverse side with a similar design. The craftsmanship is detailed and symmetrical.
