Detail Image of Pictorial sarape, 1940’s Probably Guadalupe, State of Zacatecas. The early 20th-century saw the rise of the figurative sarape, tapestry-woven in Gobelin-style to show realistic scenes or portraits. This example celebrates the golden age of Mexican cinema. The protagonists, seen on horseback, are thought to be Jorge Negrete (1911-53) and Maria Felix (1914-2002). It offers a romanticized vision of rural life on the great haciendas (rural estates). Synthetic dyes, used to color the wool wefts (horizontal threads), give enormous vivacity to the scene. Wool weft and cotton warp tapestry. This acquisition was made possible with the generous support of the Louise Hawley Stone Charitable Trust Fund.

Much of the trade from England to China involved transporting goods to India and then loading up the cargo for the journey on to China. Wallpaper design and color, like this pattern and yellow color, were inspired by textiles in India.
