Bedspread

Irene Schaefer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an intricate pattern created by repeated geometric shapes, including circles intersected by lines. The design uses red, blue, and orange hues to build a lattice-like structure. The pattern includes shapes resembling flower petals or star-like emblems, creating a repetitive rhythm. Two sides are framed with larger motifs containing four-petal forms, similar to decorative medallions with a quilt-like effect.
