Artist, American, 1869-1947?

The image shows a folded piece of fabric with a geometric pattern of squares and circles woven together. The color palette consists of muted browns, blues, and creams. The fabric is positioned with one corner flipped over to reveal the pattern on both the front and back sides, lying diagonally from the bottom left to the top right, with the edge slightly frayed.
