Cornelius Christoffels

Artist, American, born Netherlands, 1879 - 1960

The image features a series of intersecting lines and rectangles, creating a pattern of geometric shapes. The composition is abstract, with a central square surrounded by a border of larger rectangles. The use of diagonal lines within the rectangles brings to mind the texture of woven material, and the overall pattern resembles a textile or woven cloth, with a checkerboard-like arrangement that is both intricate and orderly.
