Patchwork Quilt

Sylvia Dezon

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pattern of hexagons and diamonds organized in a complex arrangement. The design resembles a mosaic with interlocking shapes in various colors such as red, blue, green, and brown. The pattern gives the impression of a quilted blanket or stained glass window, with repeating geometric shapes creating a kaleidoscopic effect.
