Printed Cottons (from Quilt)

Albert Levone

National Gallery of Art

The image contains four rectangular sections filled with intricate lines and shapes, creating an abstract composition. In the top section, there are brown scalloped stripes and green, winding forms. The next section shows vertical bands with alternating blue and brown colors, bordered by textured lines. The adjacent section features a pattern of elongated, wavy diamond shapes interlocked in a serpentine manner. In the bottom portion, there are vertical stripes of blue, brown, and thin gold lines, along with diamond shapes. These designs suggest decorative textiles or architectural motifs.
