Patchwork Quilt

Ralph N. Morgan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of geometric shapes, including triangles and parallelograms arranged in a diamond-like pattern. The design combines red triangles with blue diamond shapes creating a 3D effect. Varying shades of grey and brown are present in the surrounding shapes, giving the illusion of textured boxes or cubes. The triangles contain floral and textured motifs, resembling a patchwork style often seen in quilting.
