Quilt

Ruth M. Barnes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stylized flower design with three tulip-like flowers. Each flower has red petals, a yellow central section, and is arranged symmetrically around a blue stem with blue leaves. The color palette consists of red, yellow, and blue on a pale background. The central flower reaches upward, while the two flanking flowers extend outward to the left and right, with blue curved leaves accompanying the design. The composition is enclosed in a diamond-shaped frame on the paper.
