Textile

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a woven textile with geometric patterns. The textile features a symmetrical arrangement of horizontal stripes and diamond-shaped motifs. It predominantly consists of brown, blue, and yellow hues against a white background. The pattern is repeated across the width of the textile, with broader dark brown bands interspersed with intricate motifs within the white sections. The texture of the weave is coarse, with fibers and threading slightly frayed at the edges.
