Der Mantel (The Coat)

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image displays curved and swirling lines in a bold, reddish hue against a yellowish background, creating an abstract pattern. The shapes resemble flowing water or the intricate design of tree roots. The repetition and fluidity of the lines suggest natural forms found in a landscape or organic growth.
