Sheet with Flower and Diamond Pattern

German 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is an image showing a piece of patterned paper or textile. The fragment displays a regular geometric pattern with flowers within diamond shapes. The shapes are arranged in a diagonal grid across the fragment. Each diamond contains a stylized flower, creating a consistent and repetitive visual theme. The paper or textile appears aged with tattered and uneven edges. The background is beige-toned, implying it is a historical piece. The pattern is drawn in dark ink, contrasting with the lighter background.
