Shawl 1876 - 1899

"Shawl" is a textile artwork created by Anton Thum between 1876 and 1899. The shawl is a triangular piece of fabric with a cream background and intricate floral designs in red, blue, and orange. The fringed edges of the shawl contribute to its elegant and decorative appeal. Currently, the shawl is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring beauty of textile art. This example of decorative arts showcases the fine craftsmanship and artistry of the late 19th century.
