Pieced Autograph Quilt (1 Piece)

Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

This painting features a stylized botanical motif. It includes a central arrangement of green leaf shapes forming an arched geometric pattern. Two symmetrical plant forms appear at the top with red and green elements. Below the arch, there is a decorative red and blue flower with a grid-like pattern in the center. Above the arrangement, against an off-white background, is the word "Mother" inscribed in cursive. The piece has an illustrative and decorative quality reminiscent of folk art or traditional design motifs. The style is similar to that of Henri Rousseau.
