Trivet

Violet Hartenstein

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a complex, interwoven circular pattern with a looped handle. The artwork features a symmetrical design made up of several ribbed, circular, and petal-like shapes intertwined to form a floral motif at the center. Below the central design, a looped extension adds a unique decorative touch. The overall color palette is earthy, with shades of brown giving the pattern a natural and textured appearance.
