Plate 14: From the Portfolio "Folk Art of Rural Pennsylvania"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an array of curved and wavy lines combined with bold, solid shapes, creating an abstract representation. A stylized bird with a rounded body and elongated tail stands on a central pillar-like element. Surrounding the bird are floral shapes, with large petals and leaf-like elements. The overall composition blends organic shapes with linear details in an abstract, decorative manner.
