This lithograph showcases a darker brown background, upon which a vibrant tapestry of colors—red, black, and green—intertwine to create a striking composition. The interwoven hues form a pattern reminiscent of a quilted blanket, with the colors appearing to stitch together in an intricate, abstract design. The piece evokes a sense of depth and texture, with Riopelle's signature style of energetic, spontaneous strokes that blend natural and abstract elements.
