Marian Curtis Foster

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a symmetrical floral pattern. The drawing features a repeated design consisting of four main floral elements. Each element appears as a stylized flower with green stems and red petal-like shapes arranged in a circular pattern. These elements are set against a backdrop of fine, intricate patterns. The main pattern is enclosed within a border featuring a repeating triangular motif in red, green, and gold colors. The outermost edge contains a swirling decorative pattern that frames the central composition.
