Tapestry by Carole King — album cover art

Tapestry (1971)

A barefoot woman on a window seat, a cat that stayed just long enough for three clicks of a shutter, and a tapestry she stitched with her own hands. The cover of Carole King's Tapestry looks like a stolen moment in a Laurel Canyon living room. In a way, it was.
