Quilt

Dorothy Posten

National Gallery of Art

The image features bold, sweeping lines and shapes arranged in a repeating diagonal pattern. The shapes resemble stylized flowers with red petals, yellow centers, and green leaves. The overall design is reminiscent of a botanical pattern commonly seen in textiles or wallpapers. In the upper portion, there is a smaller overlay showing a detailed schematic of the pattern's repetition.
