Embroidered Trimmimg

Edith Magnette

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative floral pattern. The design is centered within a rectangular layout with scalloped edges, featuring a repeated motif of pink, purple, and blue flowers with green leaves on a pastel background. The flowers vary in arrangement and size, giving a natural feel to the composition. The background has gradients adding depth. The edges are lined with a border resembling lacework, framing the central design. This style is reminiscent of textile designs used in wallpaper or fabric.
