Wall Paper

John Garay

National Gallery of Art

The image shows symmetrical leaf-like shapes repeated across the surface, outlined in a soft blue gradient. These abstract forms are interspersed with a network of fine, meandering lines that crisscross diagonally, resembling a delicate latticework adorned with tiny floral motifs. The overall pattern evokes an ornate wallpaper design, with the central theme featuring natural elements like leaves and flowers in an organized geometric manner.
