Woven Coverlet

Charles Roadman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a symmetrical pattern of intricate shapes and lines, forming a structured and abstract composition. It features repetitive rectangular segments filled with smaller geometric motifs, creating a woven textile-like appearance. The colors of red and green contribute to a grid-like abstraction, resembling a colorful quilt with hints of basket weaves or reptile scales. Each segment is unique yet blends harmoniously in the overall design.
