Quilt

Katherine Hastings

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern. The artwork features a symmetrical arrangement of flowers and leaves in shades of red and green set against a plain background. At the center, there is a circular motif composed of red flowers and geometric leaf patterns, surrounded by a wreath-like design. The border of the piece includes a stylized vine pattern with alternating red and green elements. This is in the style of traditional American quilt patterns, often characterized by bold use of color and repetitive motifs.
