Woven Coverlet

J. Howard Iams

National Gallery of Art

The image features intersecting lines forming a grid pattern with squares and rectangles. The squares are arranged in alternating blue and white tones, resembling a checkerboard. The design evokes a textile or fabric, suggesting a quilt or tablecloth. Smaller squares within the grid create the illusion of floral motifs, adding to the visual appeal with repeated geometric shapes.
