Length 1752

This intricate 18th-century textile, "Length", was created by the English artist Anna Maria Garthwaite in 1752. The design is characterized by a delicate, repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs in off-white, woven into a blue background. The overall effect is one of elegant simplicity and refinement, reflecting the Rococo style that was popular during Garthwaite's time. "Length" exemplifies Garthwaite's signature technique of using a single color to achieve an illusion of depth and texture, making it a beautiful example of 18th-century woven design.
