The coverlet, which measures approximately 68 x 84 inches, is a testament to Barnes' exceptional skill in needlework, embroidery, and watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paper. The vibrant, floral design, with its rich blues and bold colors, is reminiscent of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s. The coverlet's pattern, featuring stylized flowers and geometric shapes, is both timeless and contemporary, making it a beloved item of American heritage art.
