Birth Record

Albert Levone

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative family record. The artwork features a central panel listing the ages and birth years of David and Sarah Clements' children, set against a deep brown background. The panel is framed by a border with stylized floral motifs, including leaves and blooming flowers at the corners and sides. The design is symmetrical, with elegant inscriptions in a formal font. This art style is reminiscent of traditional folk art, incorporating natural elements and vibrant colors into everyday subjects.
