Patchwork Quilt

Paul Ward

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a quilt design featuring two mirrored quilt blocks. The painting showcases two quilt squares with central white areas surrounded by red stars and framing lines. Each block is separated by a narrow vertical stripe and framed with a distinct red edge on a neutral background. Beige leaf motifs are integrated within each block, and the outer edges of the quilt blocks are quilted with diagonal lines forming diamond shapes.
