Sample of Calico

Genevieve Sherlock

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square filled with diagonal lines, with each line connecting two small circles to create an abstract pattern. The arrangement of shapes resembles matchsticks or rods with spheres at both ends, positioned in a repeating diagonal layout across the blue square. The design appears structured and repetitive, reminiscent of motifs found in textiles or wallpaper.
