This is a painting of geometric and floral designs. The artwork features a rectangular section with bold patterns and vibrant colors in blue and red. The composition is divided into segments, each adorned with different motifs. The top section displays intricate blue floral designs on a red background, with a prominent flower shape constructed from repeated geometric elements. The lower section features a symmetrical red leaf-like pattern on a blue background. Adjacent to these motifs, narrower bands of patterns with zigzag and wave-like designs are present. The style is reminiscent of traditional textile prints, emphasizing symmetry and repetition. A signature is near the lower right corner of the canvas.
