Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a grid of alternating circular and plaid shapes enclosed within a rounded square border. The circular shapes resemble small, rounded domes, while the overall pattern resembles a quilt or tiled surface typically found in patchwork designs. The background elements, like the corners and edges enclosing the textured squares, hint at floral motifs, adding to the complexity of the abstract image. The composition gives an impression of a patterned tablecloth or decorative textile piece.
