This painting shows two red-framed panels with a repeating pattern. Each panel has rows of lotus flowers in green and gold, their petals open wide. Between the flowers are small diamonds and swirls, all outlined in black. The background is plain red, and the edges of the panels are white. The lotus flowers repeat exactly, like a border you’d see on fabric or wallpaper. The colors are simple but bright, with no shading to make things look 3D. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of their collection.
