Sheet with overall curved line pattern 1800 - 1900

This anonymous design for a repeating pattern, dating from 1800 to 1900, features a simple yet elegant motif of overlapping, curved lines that create a sense of depth and rhythm. The use of black and white on a beige background adds to the visual interest and would have been effective in textile design. The design, held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the anonymous artist's skill in creating visually appealing patterns, a common theme in decorative arts during this period.
