Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a rectangular section of delicate lace with a repeating pattern that includes floral and circular motifs. The lace is white against a black background, highlighting its detailed openwork design. The alternating shapes create a rhythmic visual flow, with larger semicircular forms along one edge and more angular, grid-like structures interspersed throughout the lace. The precision and complexity of the pattern suggest a careful, artisanal approach to its creation.
