Santa Barbara Mission Doorway Design from the portfolio "Decorative Art of Spanish California"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image contains intricate, symmetrical shapes and lines arranged in an abstract design. A cross-like structure with curved lines and pointed ends connects to a central set of overlapping oval shapes. Below this, two abstract wing-like forms extend outward. At the bottom, a circular motif with concentric layers of petal-like shapes emanates. The color scheme includes warm tones like red, gold, and teal.
