Stencilled Floor

Jerome Hoxie

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative floral design. The artwork features a horizontal composition with vibrant floral motifs set against a dark background. The top of the painting shows a row of stylized, symmetrical flowers in yellow, pink, and blue hues, each with intricate petal patterns and green leaves beneath them. Below the flowers, there is a decorative border with wave-like designs and spherical elements in a light teal color. The lower portion of the painting is dominated by an earthy reddish-brown color with visible brush strokes giving a textured appearance. The style is akin to traditional folk art, characterized by its symmetrical and repetitious nature, use of bold colors, and simple, stylized forms.
