Linen and Cotton Homespun

Magnus S. Fossum

National Gallery of Art

A small, rectangular piece of woven fabric is in the center-right portion of the image. Loose threads extend from its top and right edges. The fabric shows a mix of red, blue, and other subtle colors, creating a muted and intricate pattern. It is positioned on an off-white background. The fabric's texture stands out due to the contrast with the simplicity of the surrounding area.
