Quilt

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a grid of repeating geometric shapes composed of squares, diamonds, and rounded lines. The abstract pattern features circular motifs resembling floral emblems or ornate medallions, fitting neatly within defined square sections. Intersecting straight lines and circular curves create a contrasting blend of sharp and soft shapes. The center of the pattern is left open, forming a framed blank square space for symmetry and balance.
