Quilt - Basket Design

Edward White

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two large geometric patterns resembling baskets in red on the left and green on the right. Below each basket are smaller abstract shapes, with the left one in gray and a hint of tan, and the right one in red. The background is a quilted surface with swirling patterns in shades of white and light gray. The objects are arranged symmetrically across the canvas, with the baskets positioned at the middle-top and the abstract shapes directly below them.
