"Hooked Rug" is a 1936 artwork by Ruth M. Barnes, an American artist known for her hooked rugs. The piece depicts a vibrant bouquet of flowers in various shades of pink, red, blue and green, rendered in a stylized fashion typical of the hooked rug art form. The rug's textured surface is achieved through the intricate process of hooking yarn onto a woven base.
