Patchwork Quilt

A. Zimet

National Gallery of Art

The image displays geometric shapes, mostly triangles and one rectangle, arranged abstractly. Six triangles are at the top in two rows with varied patterns; the top row has triangles in green, yellow, and pink with floral and geometric motifs, while the bottom row has three triangles in blue, brown, and red with patterns resembling waves, leaves, and feathers. A larger rectangle at the bottom exhibits an intricate pattern of interlocking floral and abstract elements in red, turquoise, and black, resembling a decorated textile or ornamental carpet.
