This is a painting of four patterned fabric swatches on a plain background. The image features four distinct square swatches. The top-left swatch has a repeated small blue geometric pattern on a light beige background. The top-right swatch displays white floral-like shapes interspersed with smaller red shapes on a soft pink background. The bottom-left swatch consists of a linear arrangement of red dashes and dots on a beige background. The bottom-right swatch features stylized black botanical silhouettes on a muted grey-brown background. All swatches are neatly arranged in a two-by-two grid against a plain white backdrop. The piece is signed by Frances D. Bruner.
