Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of interconnected squares and elongated rectangles in a symmetrical pattern. The colors are mainly blue and beige. The shapes form a grid-like structure similar to woven fabric or a patchwork quilt, with aligned columns and rows creating a harmonious design. The composition evokes a traditional textile pattern or an ornate tiled floor.
