Edges decorated with a border of floral and fruit tendrils; lower edges trimmed with gold bobbin lace. Beige linen lining. Height 298 cm, width 201 cm., A rectangular textile draped over a blocky form, predominantly pink with a sheen, featuring a repeating ornate floral motif in a metallic gold-green color across its surface and along its border; the fabric shows visible creases and slight irregularities in texture, with the top panel and sides decorated in the same pattern, and the backdrop is a neutral gray.
