Coverlet (Reverse Side)

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image displays alternating horizontal bands with intricate grid patterns. It features rich red and blue hues, with the red sections containing a motif reminiscent of pixelated floral designs. The blue bands include geometric forms resembling stacked bricks or a cityscape at night. The systematic arrangement of these elements gives the image an orderly yet complex structure, blending artistic abstraction with fabric design.
