A striking, large-scale figural textile by Bachman & Petrie, featuring a softly rendered portrait of a seated woman in flowing drapery. Executed in a monochromatic palette with expressive, almost charcoal-like shading, this piece has a beautiful, painterly quality that feels both romantic and modern.
Printed on raw canvas with an intentionally unfinished edge, the textile retains its studio character—subtle paint marks, raw hems, and tonal variation throughout. It reads less like a traditional tapestry and more like an artist’s working piece, which is exactly what makes it special.
Unframed and oversized, it’s incredibly versatile: hang it loose for a relaxed, collected look, stretch it for a more formal presentation, or frame it to elevate it into true statement art.
A perfect anchor piece for a bedroom, sitting room, or any space that leans into layered, vintage-modern interiors.

Why We Love It:
It has that elusive “collected, not decorated” energy—part artwork, part textile, part studio artifact. The scale alone does a lot of the work, but the softness of the figure keeps it from feeling heavy.
