Quilt

Frank Nelson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a grid formed by rectangular sections with diagonal lines creating diamond shapes inside each rectangle. The design within each section resembles a stylized plant or leaf pattern with curved and jagged edges. The repetitive shapes are reminiscent of quilt patterns or mosaic tiles. Additionally, there are areas with red and green polka dots.
