Tulip Pattern Quilt

Mabel Ritter

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern with red and green motifs on a white background. The image features a repetitive design of stylized flowers and leaves, where each flower is depicted with red petals and a central stem. The leaves are painted in green, and the stems curve gracefully, connecting each floral unit in a regular grid pattern. The background is a textured white, giving a quilt-like appearance, and the entire pattern is framed with a red border. This is in the style of a traditional folk art motif commonly used in decorative arts.
