Apron c. 1940

"Apron" is a design for a fabric pattern created by David P. Willoughby in circa 1940. The artwork depicts a repeating floral pattern with large blossoms and intricate stems on a dark purple background. The stylized design is likely intended for textile production, showcasing Willoughby's ability to translate intricate motifs into designs for mass production. The artwork's dimensions are 35.6 x 26.8 cm, suggesting it was a small-scale design study, perhaps for an apron or other garment. This work is a fine example of decorative design in the early 20th century, reflecting the popularity of floral motifs in the textile industry.
