Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a square with intersecting vertical and horizontal lines, creating a grid-like pattern. The design features alternating red and blue stripes resembling a woven fabric. The layout is reminiscent of a patchwork quilt or a checkerboard, with different sections forming a detailed pattern. The overall composition conveys a precise arrangement, akin to architectural blueprints or mosaic tiles.
