Drawing for Plate 7: From Portfolio "Folk Art of Rural Pennsylvania"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an abstract arrangement of red, green, yellow, and orange shapes forming symmetrical floral patterns. The shapes and lines resemble stylized flowers or plant-like structures, with some resembling tulips and others suggesting a sunflower at the top center. The design is reminiscent of folk art, using bold colors and simplified forms to create an ornamental look similar to traditional textile or decorative art.
