Quilt

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an arrangement of red and white curved and triangular shapes overlapping on a rectangular fabric piece. The composition is abstract, resembling pieces of a quilt or patchwork with bold geometric forms. The red shapes, highlighted with small white patterns, contrast against the solid white background. The design evokes interlaced petals or leaves, jigsaw puzzle pieces, or sections of a landscape viewed from above.
