Colcha

Margery Parish

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a series of repeating zigzag shapes forming an abstract pattern across the canvas. The pattern consists of alternating chevrons and triangular peaks. Each row of zigzags is filled with colors like greens, blues, browns, and oranges. The colors create a vibrant tapestry effect. The overall visual impression is of an artfully woven fabric, with repetitive shapes and color variations adding to its abstract complexity.
