Mother's Banner of Love and Comfort

Rebecca Landon

National Gallery of Art

The image contains various geometric shapes such as triangles, diamonds, and ovals, with a central rectangular grid. The arrangement of these shapes and the text within and around them forms an abstract composition. The triangular shapes resemble peaks, while the grid in the center is reminiscent of a scoreboard or graph paper. The ovals at the bottom contain densely packed text. Small ornate tree-like forms are dispersed throughout the image.
