Beaded Robe

Mary Berner

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative textile and pattern. The drawing depicts a rectangular piece of fabric with an intricate border made up of colorful geometric and floral designs. The main section of the fabric is a solid black area, giving prominence to the vibrant border in hues of red, green, blue, and pink. Below the fabric, there is a separate star-like design, echoing the colors and style of the border. The overall composition features a simple yet striking contrast between the black fabric and the colorful patterns.
