About this work

This image shows two red-pink panels framed in white. Each panel has a repeating pattern of lotus flowers with green leaves and buds. The flowers are light yellow with dark centers, and the background is a mix of green and red shapes. The lotus flowers are arranged in a neat row, almost like a border. The colors are simple but bright, with no shading to make them look 3D. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
