Padded Coverlet

Edward L. Loper and Gordon Saltar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows geometric shapes, mainly diamonds and triangles, arranged in a grid pattern. The repeated shapes create an abstract pattern resembling quilt designs or mosaic tiles. The blue and white color scheme and detailed embellishments within each shape suggest a patchwork quilt, with symmetrical star-like motifs in each square.
