Quilt Pattern

Alois E. Ulrich

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern with green stems and red flowers. The composition features a symmetrical design with two prominent red flowers on either side of a leafy green stem, set against a textured, diamond-shaped background. The flowers have yellow centers and vibrant red petals, creating a contrast against the muted, earthy tones of the background. The border of the painting is aged and shows signs of wear. This is in the style of folk art or decorative art associated with textile design.
