Quilt (Detail)

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an array of rectangular and square geometric shapes arranged in an orderly grid pattern, each filled with unique abstract designs primarily in shades of green. The shapes contain intricate patterns and lines reminiscent of leafy vines, grids, checkerboards, floral motifs, seaweed, and coral. This creates an abstract composition evoking elements in nature like foliage and flowers.
