Candlewick Bedspread

Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

The image features a square composition surrounded by a thin blue line framing the interior design. Delicate white lines form geometric and symmetrical patterns within the abstract artwork. The central shape resembles a flower with petals radiating outwards. The outer shapes echo the outlines of jagged edges or stair-like configurations.
