Wall Painting (Restoration Drawing)

Raymond E. Noble

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a decorative pattern. The design features a central floral motif enclosed within an oval shape, as part of a larger symmetrical pattern. The pattern is detailed with looping lines and geometric shapes. The color palette is subdued, with hints of sepia and beige. The texture of the photograph suggests it is capturing the detail of a woven or embroidered fabric.
