Evening Handkerchief

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative textile design. The drawing features a square piece with a green base color, adorned with a border of intricate floral patterns. The flowers border the square on all sides, with small leaves and clusters of pink and yellow petals intricately detailed. The main body of the piece contains scattered small green motifs that resemble leaves or abstract shapes, adding texture and interest to the solid background. The design reflects a balance between the dense border and the more sparsely detailed center.
