Swatch

Square piece. Fuchsia background with different shades of color, with a geometric design arranged in horizontal green bands made up of alternating schematic animal motifs framed by tiered triangle and rectangular line motifs. The edges are finished with a hem.

Textile design by Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo, inspired by the primitive fabrics of South America, and the central Andes in particular. Fantastical animals trace geometrical figures and the space is divided with tiered shapes.
