Economy Handkerchief

Katherine Hastings

National Gallery of Art

A folded handkerchief with detailed embroidery in a floral and paisley pattern is laid out on a neutral, off-white background. The primary colors visible are the light cream of the handkerchief and the slightly darker thread used for the embroidery. Positioned in the center of the image, the handkerchief sits with the embroidered corner closest to the viewer, while the opposite corner is folded underneath.
