Panel - Cross and Drapes

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a painting of a large, ornate cross against a backdrop of colorful patterns and draped curtains. The cross is decorated with a border and a mix of neutral and warm tones. Curtains in shades of red and brown frame the top section with tassels on either side. The background features geometric patterns and motifs, including square shapes with X and cross designs in red and blue. Small circular shapes at the base create a dynamic element. The style resembles early European religious or ornamental art.
