Cleveland Museum of Art

Philippe de Lasalle's "Wall Covering with Classical Figure" shows a long, vertically oriented wall covering with a central design. The wall covering has a thick border with a repeating dark green leaf pattern on a cream background. The top portion features two symmetrical arches with pink and green floral motifs on either side of a central floral arrangement. Below the arches is a blue rectangle with white horses and floral motifs. The middle section features a large circle with a classical figure in a black and white design, surrounded by a floral pattern. The bottom section depicts cattails and birds on either side, with a floral arrangement above. The background of the wall covering is cream-colored.
