Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rectangular arrangement with diagonal lines intersecting to form a diamond pattern across the background. The lines are adorned with small abstract floral motifs resembling tiny blossoms connected by thin, twisting vines. Overlaying the diamond pattern are larger, abstract blue shapes resembling stylized leaves or feathers, creating an ornate and decorative effect. The repetition and arrangement of these elements create a rhythmic and harmonious design reminiscent of patterns found in traditional wallpaper or textile prints.
