Pieced Autograph Quilt (1 Piece)

Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

Various shapes and lines create a balanced arrangement in this abstract composition. At the center, an anchor with a chain intertwines, forming crossed diagonal lines. Surrounding this central figure are small images: on the top left, a black silhouette of a cannon; on the top right, a blue jacket; on the bottom right, a pair of blue trousers; and on the bottom left, a ship's wheel. The image features the name "John Guion" inscribed under the central anchor design.
