Textile

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a textile design. The image shows a rectangular pattern with zigzag lines and geometric shapes. A diamond-shaped motif is at the center, made of concentric stepped lines in alternating colors. Triangular step patterns emerge from each corner. The drawing uses soft pastel tones, including blue and pink on a neutral background. Small rectangular marks are scattered throughout for added texture. The design has a symmetrical aesthetic and suggests traditional or indigenous influences with simple linear elements and balance.
