Decorative Panel

Pierre Rousseau

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a decorative panel by Pierre Rousseau. The panel is vertically oriented. The background of the panel is beige. At the top, a nude cherub sits on a line between two wreaths with figures inside, holding a knife. Below the cherub, a sheep is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and flowers. The sheep is under a plant with a flower pot. A woman in a blue skirt and white top holds up a picture frame with a scene inside. The woman stands on a pillar between two winged creatures. The creatures have human-like faces and are on either side of a base with indistinguishable figures. There are four hanging portraits on either side of the woman. Flowers and leaves are drawn on either side of the panel.
