Coverlet

Arthur G. Merkley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pattern of vertical and horizontal lines arranged in three distinct sections. The central panel has horizontal blue and white stripes of varying thickness, flanked by two panels of vertical, alternating stripes of blue, brown, and olive. The geometric interplay of straight lines and the striped arrangement creates an abstract design.
