Curtain Drapery c. 1936

"Curtain Drapery," a design for fabric by Henry Meyers, features a classic chintz pattern of lush floral motifs, birds, and delicate fruits. The intricate detail and repeating pattern showcase the beauty and elegance of the chintz design, a style of printed fabric that was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The pattern, created with watercolor, would have been used for upholstery, curtains, or other home decor textiles. The delicate brushwork and use of color demonstrate the artist's skill and attention to detail.
