Printed Cotton (Winter Sports)

Pearl Gibbo

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern incorporating military figures. The soldiers are depicted against a backdrop filled with flowers and foliage, mainly large red and yellow roses, red berries, and green leaves. The military figures are shown in different poses, such as standing at attention, placed on a pedestal, and some in a resting position. The pattern combines nature's floral elements with military themes, creating a visually striking contrast. The style resembles that of James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
