Shaker Rug Strip

Lucille Chabot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rectangular pattern of interlocking horizontal lines with red, blue, and green colors. The design has a woven textile-like appearance, resembling a tightly knitted fabric or close-up of a rug. The alternating stripes and hues create a traditional handwoven mat look. The composition gives a sense of tactile texture, like a segment of a colorful tapestry.
