Handwoven Coverlet

Howard H. Sherman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a complex arrangement of geometric shapes, with a grid of interlocking squares and rectangles forming a symmetrical pattern. The abstract composition resembles woven textiles or a checkerboard design expanded into intricate waves and curves. The overall layout is reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, where repetitive patterns create a visually mesmerizing effect.
