Shaker Textile

Elizabeth Moutal

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large rectangular shape in a dark brown color with subtle variations creating a wavy pattern across its surface. The design resembles the texture of a piece of fabric, with the bordering edges hinting at a frayed outline of a textile swatch. The simple shape contrasts against a blank, off-white background, emphasizing its fabric-like characteristics.
