Pieced Autograph Quilt (1 Piece)

Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a red heart design with stars, set against a simple background. The central focus of the image is a red heart adorned with a dotted pattern, overlapping another heart shaded in a lighter pink with a similar pattern. Surrounding the hearts are four red stars, each symmetrically placed in the corners of a square frame. The background is a plain, neutral color, adding emphasis to the heart and star designs. Underneath the hearts, there is an inscription that reads, "American Quilt".
