National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a patterned textile design featuring clover motifs. The artwork depicts a symmetrical pattern consisting of circles made from colorful leaves, each enclosing clover shapes of various colors including red, green, and gold, distributed evenly across a light background. The border of the textile is adorned with a consecutive leaf pattern that alternates in colors of red, green, and gold. Small touches of watercolor give the pattern a vibrant look.
