Silk Applique Quilt

Mildred Prince

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a vertical arrangement of curved lines forming an abstract vine-like pattern. Along these lines are shapes resembling leaves and flower buds, with the leaves in a dark hue and the buds in red. The design gives the impression of a plant climbing upwards, suggesting a stylized representation of nature, creating a rhythmic visual in floral motifs.
