Printed Cotton c. 1940

This printed cotton textile, designed by Henry Granet circa 1940, depicts a domestic scene of a couple in their bedroom. The man is seated in bed, reading a book, while the woman sleeps beside him. The artwork showcases a detailed and realistic portrayal of the interior, featuring a grand bed, a grandfather clock, and a cat perched on the headboard. The fabric is framed by a border of repeating geometric shapes in shades of red, gold, and brown. This textile is a prime example of the Art Deco period's fascination with geometric patterns and the depiction of domestic life.
