American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an abstract composition with a series of interconnected shapes. At the top, there is an ornate cross-like shape with pointed edges and symmetrical patterns. Below it, a bow-like formation with two elongated ovals intersects with a circle containing a complex, mandala-like design. The circular pattern resembles a flower, with multiple petal shapes radiating out from a central point. The color palette includes warm tones of ochre, turquoise, and brick red.
