Quilt

Therkel Anderson

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an intricate design with geometric and organic shapes. In the center, there is a star-like shape made of red leaf-shaped elements radiating outward, surrounded by shapes resembling ferns or feathers. The design is enclosed within a square bordered in red, with a smaller square in the top left corner showing an abstract pattern of intersecting circles and lines. The overall design evokes a textile or wallpaper with a blend of floral and geometric elements.
