Quilt

Katherine Hastings

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of floral motifs on a patterned background. The image depicts a repeating pattern consisting of squares, each containing intricate designs. Two of the squares feature vibrant floral motifs with green leaves and red petals radiating symmetrically from a central red shape. The other two squares include ornate circular designs resembling woven or basket-like textures with a soft beige tone. The composition is set on a diagonal striped background in muted tones, creating a quilt-like appearance.
