Pieced Autograph Quilt (1 Piece)

Cornelius Christoffels and Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern. The composition features a square design with a pattern of green leaves and red flowers around each side. Each corner of the square features a large, red flower with layered petals. The interior has smaller pink ornamental shapes. The center of the square bears the monogram "M. L." in a delicate font. The artwork shows vibrant colors and symmetry. It is reminiscent of American folk art and quilting patterns.
