Bedspread

Henry Granet

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a quilt pattern. The image depicts a quilt design featuring a series of pink stars arranged within a network of geometric shapes, including triangles, squares, and diamonds. The stars are evenly dispersed throughout the composition, positioned within diamond-shaped frames. These frames are surrounded by a mix of smaller geometric patterns in a variety of colors. The triangles create a dynamic, zigzag pattern that leads the eye around the image. The entire pattern is set against a neutral background.
