Patchwork Quilt

Genevieve Sherlock

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract geometric design made up of small red triangles arranged in a square pattern. These shapes form a larger square, resembling a quilt or mosaic. The configuration of triangles creates a visual effect akin to an optical illusion. The red and white contrast adds depth to the design.
