Quilt - Rose Design

Ralph Atkinson

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern with red and green hues. The artwork features a series of stylized roses or flower motifs, each composed of red shapes resembling buds and green stems and leaves. The flowers are uniformly spaced across the surface, creating a rhythmic and repeated pattern. The background is a subtle, textured surface that gives the impression of a woven or fabric-like quality.
