William Hoffman

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a floral pattern featuring red roses and blue accents. The artwork consists of a symmetrical design with four red roses positioned near the center, each surrounded by green leaves. Blue floral and abstract shapes occupy the corners and the spaces between the roses, adding contrast and balance to the composition. The background consists of small, closely arranged dots creating a woven texture. The signature at the bottom indicates the style of William Hoffman.
