Applique Quilt

Mildred E. Bent

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a symmetrical arrangement with four square sections, each containing abstract shapes resembling leaves or starfish in a circular formation. The background has a softly patterned texture resembling waves or ripples. The leaf-like shapes are in green tones, contrasting with the surrounding muted colors. The design resembles a quilt or textile art, with interconnected organic forms in each quadrant.
