Window cornice

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white illustration titled Window cornice by an unknown artist. The illustration is rectangular and long, wider in the middle than at the top and bottom. The illustration on the strip of paper depicts a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky; there are several buildings and a fence. The strip of paper has a black background with an ornate design on each end; the designs are symmetrical on either side and are comprised of curved lines and shapes. The strip is surrounded by a larger piece of white paper; the white paper is jagged on the top and has a rough edge on the left side. The background behind the white paper is solid black.
