Phyllis Dorr

National Gallery of Art

A large floral motif is displayed within a rounded rectangular patch. The flowers are primarily red with hints of pink, against a dark green background with brown edges. The color palette includes reds, pinks, greens, and neutrals. The floral pattern is centered with the largest bloom at the top, a smaller flower towards the lower left, and leaves around them. The patch is in the center, surrounded by a beige canvas.
