1301·Watercolor with opaque and metallic gold watercolor over pen and crimson and black ink with a swatch of compound twill satin, plain weave, on brown wove paper·47.9 × 37.8 cm (18 7/8 × 14 7/8 in.); Textile fragment mounted in upper proper right corner: 22.4 × 22.6 cm (8 13/16 × 8 7/8 in.)
<p>Design professor and museum professional Paul Schulze created this compelling work by augmenting a fragment of 14th-century Italian silk through drawing. Schulze used his expertise to speculatively “re-create” the textile fragment’s full pattern. Through this informed yet imaginative interpretation, Schulze has enabled viewers to appreciate the composition and motifs of a lost original.</p>
