Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a central design consisting of a circular pattern made up of interlocking red oval shapes, resembling a chain. Surrounding the main design are four blue stars, one in each corner of the square frame. At the center of the circle is a blue pattern resembling a flower or snowflake, with intricate white line details inside it. The repeated shapes create a geometric composition reminiscent of decorative motifs found in textiles or emblems.
