Coverlet - Section of Reverse Side

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square composition with an array of red geometric shapes on a light blue background. The shapes create an abstract pattern resembling a large "X" formed by interconnected dots and squares. The design features repetitive elements of squares and circles, reminiscent of quilt patterns or tile mosaics. The intersecting lines and sequences of shapes convey symmetry and order within the abstract framework.
