Textile

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square filled with floral patterns, star-like flowers combined with sharp leaves, a spiky leaf shape resembling a fern, and two overlapping diamond shapes. Each element is rendered in a monochrome style with an abstract quality. The square pattern evokes a textile design, while the star-shaped flowers suggest ornamental garden landscaping. The large leaf shape resembles a palm or fern, and the pair of diamond shapes hint at a simplistic kite. A single curving, feather-like shape in a soft orange hue adds an unexpected touch.
